Let’s be 100% honest. UConn sold their soul to try and become a football school. I get why. Football is big dollars. Huge dollars.
But they bastardized what was a basketball institution. I think of Syracuse, Villanova, and St. John’s when I think of UConn. I think of the Big East tournament and thrillers in the Garden. I don’t think of a shit football program and games against Memphis.
There’s no shame in being an excellent basketball school. I’m happy they’re returning to the Big East and I might actually watch some games this year.
