With Big 12 expansion coming down to the wire, many are using UConn's ticket sales to the 2011 Fiesta Bowl as an argument against the school. They might be surprised to hear how other schools have fared financially in big bowl games over the years.
Conference realignment is the worst. We've been dealing with it in some capacity for more than five years, but as UConn officials are set to meet with the Big 12 in Dallas today, we could finally be nearing the promised land - or potentially another crushing disappointment.
So before we get to that, before the Big 12 makes its decision, I'd like to address something that's been on my mind.
