Perception is reality...
...is one of my least favorite phrases in the English language. I guess I’ve been naive to believe that the only realities in this world are the those which can be proven.
The world of college sports, however, suggests otherwise. At the moment, there is a perception that UConn has a weak football program, and it caused some problems during the recent round of conference realignment.
Weakness is relative, of course. UConn Football’s accomplishments obviously don’t measure up to those of Alabama, Southern Cal, or Florida, but compared to its regional competition, particularly when there has been a level playing field, the program has done quite well in its short time at the FBS level.
