OK, I get ND as a Indy and UMASS for moving up to D1 recently. I find it comical that Oregon St and Washington State are listed as a conference. Since UCONN isn't on my football radar, when exactly did they go Independant? My God, they are in football Purgatory, even with a dominate, historic basketball program. lol. Has there ever been more proof that football programs drive the bus for college athletic sports funding? I have to chuckle at an article about UCONN hoping/praying for the lifeboat the B12 might add them, but not before 2031. One more thing, the ACC is the only major conference with an odd number of teams at 17. Are they leaving room for the possible exit of both Clemson & Florida St? Hoping they get ND to finally go all in as a member, or looking to raid an odd number of teams from another conference? All this being said, we have to be so over the top grateful as a fanbase to Bob Mulcahy for having the foresight to push for our stadium expansion and the upgrades to our practice facilities. The B10 would have never looked our way and a special thanks needs to go out to Tim Pernetti. Pernetti is credited with negotiating the agreement to bring Rutgers to the Big Ten Conference in 2014. For his efforts, Pernetti was named one of the five candidates for Sports Business Journal National Athletic Director of the Year. We as a University were razor close to being in the same boat as UCONN. https://www.espn.com/college-football/standings
