#UConn coach Bob Diaco said every other football player other than Sean McQuillan has returned to school...

John Silver ‏@JohnFSilver 29m29 minutes ago
Just real quick, more later. But Bob Diaco said Sean McQuillan is not in school, and is in an appeal process after spring fight.

#UConnFootball coach Bob Diaco not backing down from challenge/tweet/civil conflict/logo regarding #UCF.

Diaco said all practices will be open to media after a slightly tighter policy during fall camp. Also, as much as the "Civil Conflict" thing is odd, Diaco has no apologies. "Why do I care what they think?" Have to respect that.

..... SMH!

Diaco told SiriusXM College Sports Nation that 31 UConn football players are on academic honor roll, the most in program history. He also said no players are in jeopardy of being academically ineligible, for the first time in 14 years.
