Those are all the independents in the NCAA div 1A. UConn is on it. It is possible that UConn is independant when it comes to football...like Temple is in the Atlantic 10 in Basketball.

That must be outdated. UConn is definitely in the Big East. Finished 4-8 this year (1-6 in conference play)

If you scroll down to the standings and schedule you can see the actual Independents are listed-Temple, Army, Navy, ND-no UConn

That is wierd how it shows UConn as an ind.

UConn just switched into the Big East 2 years ago. I think they've only had a college football program on the divison I-A level for 3-4 years now. They started off as an independent (probaboly to play an easier schedule), but then after BC/Va Tech and Miami bolted for the ACC, they came to the Big East.

They WERE independent until the Big East shakeup a couple of years ago when Miami, BC and VT moved out to the ACC and Temple went independent. That's when UConn, Cincinatti, Louisville and South Florida moved into the Big East.

The Big East used to be a strong conference, but the 3 top teams moved out and 2 crap teams, an OK South Florida team and a good Louisville team moved in. Syracuse is embarrassing now.

All they have is West Virginia, Louisville and Rutgers (a team who could NEVER have a good team until the powerhouses moved out (or fell down like Syracuse).

The ONLY independent teams now are ND, Army, Navy and Temple. That longer list is OLD.

Apparently they are...
BIGEAST.org: The Official Site of The BIG EAST Conference

You must be looking at an outdated page. There was a brief span when they were between conferences (2000-2003) and were an independant. They've began playing in the big east in 2004.
