A view from afar. Football has been and will always be the standard by which colleges and universities are judged. Going forward, Regardless of conference affiliation or not, if UConn can attain a .500 record or better against average to better than average teams will go a long way in making UConn attractive on the gridiron.
Being in a P5 conference will also make UConn attractive to more of the top-tier recruits. Rome was not built in one day. One step at a time. UConn was bowl-eligible last year. Do it again this time with a plus .500 record. Then, do it again to the point where UConn football will have earned some respect among the high mid-majors.
The basketball programs can hold their own in any P5 conference in the country. In most cases, they would be the dominant team. Unfortunately, UConn can’t ride strictly on the laurels of its basketball programs. Football attracts the masses, the sponsors, and the BIG revenue dollars. It always has, and always will.
