On a related note sources say I have plans to triple my salary sooner than later.

Rutgers is selling recruits on the fact that the Big East will be at 10 teams soon, so it will be the only true Big10 conference. Classic mix up.

And East Carolina has been telling recruits for the past 6 years that they are about to join the Big East...and we all know how that has turned out.

Yeah and Syracuse has been saying for years that they are committed to the Big East. So, no you really shouldn't believe this kind of stuff.

My wife has been telling me for years that size doesn't matter.

RutgersAl is the source....

I guess all you have to do today to be called a "journalist" is to write... "sources say" ... and you're good! No need to back it up with facts...just opinions and hearsay! And why bother attributing your valuable info to anyone in particular?? Those are just details and more details!! Actually this "news" item is just more crap coming out of Philly!

That's not what your wife tells me.

In some measure of seriousness, are our recruits being told something other than "we will be fine" ? At some point, with UofL and now Rutgers telling recruits they're on to stronger conferences, even if untrue, it does give them an extra recruiting tool which UConn hasn't used.

Maybe someone like huskyfandan knows what recruits are being told.

Heh. What I really like about this forum is funny stuff like this.

We say B10 or ACC?

We tell them CUSA is joining us. Good times.

Most of the schools that are joining us from C-USA, other than USF and UCF, were part of major conferences before they were forced to go to C-USA. Explains why the ones who already are in were able to succeed quickly (Cincinnati and Louisville). I won't be surprised if Houston and SMU succeed in football or Houston and Memphis succeed in basketball. I also wouldn't be surprised if Memphis gets better at football. I personally have no issues with the conference. You can count me as one of the fans who are grateful that we even have 3 national titles in men's basketball, as opposed to the snobby fans we have who take things for granted and think UConn has a natural right to be in the Big 10 or ACC. If we weren't associated with the Catholic schools 75+% UConn fans whine about, we probably wouldn't even have a single national championship in men's basketball.
