Yes, I left out UConn. Because for some reason, I don't feel sorry for them

I don't know. It just seems like they aren't really into football. They just have it because they want to be in the Big-Boy club, not because they really care about it. ECU cares. UConn, not so much. At least that is my impression. If there is a UConn fan on the board who wants to take me to task on this one, please do.
I'm not a UConn hater (full disclosure: I AM a Louisville hater). I just don't get them as a Power Conference football school - not based on the performance, but based on the passion.

They definitely do not have the passion for football that ECU has, not by -- RJHokie 04/21/2018 5:22PM

Excellent point! I had forgotten ECU/Big East snub... -- Alicks 04/21/2018 5:32PM

Temple just did not have the football fan base or commitment to football -- RJHokie 04/21/2018 5:38PM

Tranghese didn't like ECU for some reason. -- HOO86 04/24/2018 8:29PM

Don’t think Tranghese had the foresight to see that football was beginning -- RJHokie 04/24/2018 8:45PM

The Big East was always a basketball conference -- HOO86 04/24/2018 9:03PM

Tranghese let he Catholic basketball schools call the shots and it all went -- RJHokie 04/24/2018 9:14PM

Agree, but Temple was trying (and ECU was succeeding)... -- Alicks 04/21/2018 9:02PM

UConn needs to try to get back in the Big East, and play football in the -- RJHokie 04/21/2018 10:34AM

Unfair... -- 33laszlo99 04/21/2018 01:05AM

Excellent point on the ACC and the Ivy League Contract. -- Alicks 04/21/2018 08:30AM

The Ivy League isn't propping up the ACC. Nor is the Sun Belt the SEC. -- HOO86 04/21/2018 10:19AM

OK. So they have no fans. I don't feel sorry for them at all. -- Alicks 04/21/2018 5:35PM

WVU yes. ECU no. -- HOO86 04/21/2018 6:28PM

Hard to compare ECU in 2017 to those other schools. -- Atlee Hokie 04/24/2018 09:12AM

My beef is with the northern branch... -- 33laszlo99 04/21/2018 10:57AM

The Northeast doesn't watch much college football -- HOO86 04/21/2018 11:51AM

The Ivies have a much larger pool of sports than other schools. ESPN -- RJHokie 04/21/2018 11:04AM

The Ivy League was already running its own streaming service -- HOO86 04/21/2018 11:22AM
