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

If they win it all, they'll have as many nattys as UNC and more than Duke.

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

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**

How many other schools have gone after Geno over the years?
Old Line Hokie • 03/31/24 05:34 PM ET
1st, they are a pre realignment blueblood in BB.
VTCALS72 • 03/31/24 03:21 PM ET
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

All in a rural environment

Fair question. Here is my take.
