Dont get me wrong...imma rep my huskies even if we are in the nec. regardless, it still hurts to see how far we have fallen, whether that be our national perception or actual performance levels.

UConn's big mistake was not moving football up in 1991 when they had the chance.

They were just too new when realignment happened.

IMHO, the lawsuit and Blumenthal hurt them even more.

Yes, UConn fans do not like to admit it, but there are likely still sore arses within the ACC that hold a grudge against UConn for spearheading the lawsuits 15 years ago.

Memories in academia are long, and that has IMO clearly hurt UConn's chances to join the ACC.

Irony is, being outspoken about that lawsuit didn't harm Blumenthal at all. His political star rose after that, and he's now a US Senator, while UConn is languishing in the AAC.
