Arjona and Monteith needed to go !

We want the Atlantic Coast Conference and our rivals Boston College, Syracuse, and Pittsburgh." ACC might expand to 16 and I'm sure would love UConn. If the ACC can't get the 16th team then UConn is stuck. UConn needs to call Rutgers and make a deal with them to leave the Big East for the Atlantic Coast Conference. That's the only way in is as a pair like Syracuse and Pitt did. Basically she’s saying, “Good Bye Big East, we want stability and teams that are close regionally, not West Virginia.

Why? Do you actually expect them to graduate? The problem UConn needs to address isn't what conference they're in; it's why they have one of the lowest graduation rates for its male athletes. “so our student athletes don’t miss too many classes”?

Although there were many people wanting to make a statement, the ONE state trooper who verbally took a statement from the person who pushed Cy, would not listen to any other witnesses. After the UConn fan sitting in the FAMILY SECTION DRINKING HIS BEER, not in the student sction like being reported, pushed Cy down, he received several celebration high fives from his surrounding buddies. If there were interviews, who are they?? Somebody needs to either shut these lies down, or make it right. I SAW… state police interviewed ONE witness: the person who PUSHED Cy down.

The coaches may be thinking that, too. We'll ask on Monday, that's for sure. I get the feeling the three-way rotation is over. We'll see if it's down to two or one by the time Iowa State gets here.
