[QUOTE="xWVU2010x, post: 132424952, member: 1467482"] Meh on Colorado, but poaching one of the PAC schools assures the Big XII will be higher in the pecking order of the 3 leftover conferences. They do have a good history and a recent football national title, market is decent and better than anything available. UConn football winning 6 games with their schedule last year is basically a bad Marshall team. That was tied for their best season in a decade. This is all tied into the package of that the only reason they exist at the FBS level is because the now defunct Big East Football league convinced them to do it, which has lead to the program becoming financially unstable and they also play in an off campus rental stadium that has none of the amenities an NFL stadium would have. The only lipstick on this pig is they won a tiebreaker in a very bad year for the Big East and got to go to a Fiesta Bowl once in an 8-5 season. UConn football is a worthless asset. Adding them only makes sense if basketball starts to increase in value and even then it’s debatable if UConn would be convinced to jump. [/QUOTE]
