Hell, she only got one CFC kid to stay, and that was her Glastonbury connection. Only a new coach will get them out of this mess, and it will take a few years to clean the slate.
      They barely beat CCSU last fall, who had the lead for a good part of the game, and you think going against PC and Nova is going to be their cake walk? Something tells me YOU don’t know much.
      Nova and PC stink. Lol. At least CCSU was up on Georgetown at HT in the NCAAs before losing 3-1. UConn will run the Big East soon enough other than GTown. Their recruiting was tied to a poor conference. That will change now. PC not at all happy about UConn returning.

        PC stinks? They went down to Duke and UNC and held their own. PC soccer doesn't care about UConn coming back.....Maybe the President and board, BUT women's hoops for sure.

          Their recruiting had nothing to do with being in the AAC v. the Big East. If UCONN is the "right" school for a kid -- academics, level of play, coaching staff, potential for PT, cost after assistance offered, etc. -- that they play in one non-P5 conference instead of another non-P5 conference hardly matters. Maybe BE allows for a few closer games, but they'll still be flying to Chicago, Cincinnati and Milwaukee to play mediocre teams. UCONN's recruiting impediments are far more fundamental, and BE membership won't change that.

            UConn coach showed interest in my daughter, but she had higher aspirations. It is a big commitment to play d1 soccer. If your kid ends up buried on the depth chart because she is over her head, or playing, but on a team that has no shot at winning much, all the practice, lifting, treatment and travel time, etc is not worth it, unless you are at your dream school. Full ride for an in state student in ct is not enough to do a four year bid in storrs.

              OK snob. Higher learning or not D1 level player? What is interest? An email to camp or a visit and offer? It is good enough for many talented athletes in numerous sports, but not yours???? showed interest is funny...haha
              Good luck wasting money on your "higher aspiration" ID camps!!!

                Typical D3 parent answer. My kid could play D1, but chose D3 because they want academics and the travel and soccer got in the way. LOL

                  Yes, watched her play and asked the coach about her and my daughter called her to speak to her. Never said she got an offer. It never got that far. No my daughter doesn’t play d3. Yes she is at a better academic school. Yes she has played and yes her team is better than UConn. Sorry all you instate half scholarship parents.

                  Ps....i never said that for other sports and for lessor academic student athletes that UConn isn’t a nice option.

                    With a 4-14 record and 216th rank, there are plenty of of soccer programs that are stronger than UCONN and that also have good academics. Even the 100s there's Colgate, Dartmouth, CO College, Rice, Harvard, GW, Bucknell, a few good state schools....let alone in the top 100. Not a stretch whatsoever.

                      I agree with the other poster. You talk like your kid is way above UCONN standards. Unless she were going to an Ivy, the list you mentioned isn't impressive soccer history. UCONN has a history and will get back there. Patriot league??? Big East is better competition, hands down.

                        Hahaha. PC has never done anything in soccer. Win an NCAA tournament game or even a conference and then get back to me. If they were half as good as the parents think they are, they’d be good. Unfortunately, they are not. UConn returning to the Big East will not help that. UConn has a lousy year last year but was in the top 20 just 3 seasons ago. PC went down and lost to Duke and UNC. Wooo hooo!

                          Completely ignorant comment. Explain why then, that UConn was a consistent power while in the Bug East? Reached a National Final. Same school. Same academics. Same coaches. The slide began with the conference change. Yes, a few good programs joined the ACC, but the BE is still a solid soccer conference and more importantly has name recognition that will attract students. I expect that UConn will blow past PC in relatively short order.

                            Clearly you haven't looked over their recruiting list for this year

                              Huh? You mean recruits added before the conference change. That has all to do with AAC
