A blueblood for me is a program that has had success over decades and generations. UCONN's first Final Four was 25 years ago. That just doesn't do it for me. They are absolutely the most successful program of the past 25 years…amazing what they have done, but that doesn’t equate to being a blueblood. They are 2 different things imo. Here is my list:
