1st, they are a pre realignment blueblood in BB.

2nd, Their boosters are not putting much into their football. It would be interesting to see how much they have in NIL to pay out just for both MBB and WBB.

How is Non-Power 5 UConn so successful in MBB and WBB?
Old Line Hokie • 03/31/24 12:14 PM ET
Better question is why did they give up on football

Big East is a big time b-ball conference, and UConn is a blue blood.

Storrs is smaller than Blacksburg **

True, but not very far from many great High School basketball players.**

Coaching & Recruiting. Big East is a popular conference for eastern kids.

UConn achieved basketball blue blood status back in the 90s. Also, UConn

Level 1 violations and probation under their previous 2 coaches helped.**

If VT didn't care about funding a successful football program, imagine

Until you had no football revenue to fund it**

Great Coaches & support for their programs, mainly because of great coaches**

It'd be interesting to see how much $$$ UConn invests in football.**
Old Line Hokie • 03/31/24 05:35 PM ET
UCONN is located in close proximity to the best basketball players

Fair question. Here is my take.
