"The conference is bad for UConn" -- an argument that appeals to the intellectually lazy.

Funny, no one was saying that when UConn won 3 years in a row while in the AAC. In fact, what I was hearing from the UConn-haters then was, "UConn has an unfair advantage! They're avoiding the bruising conference schedule of power conferences!"

Insert eye roll emoji. Wake me up when the morons stop blathering.
