I've heard others say this and you guys may be right (Frankly I don't know enough about marketing), but the fact is the school did very little to try and leverage the superior hand they were dealt by upgrading from FCS to BCS. I was a casual fan of UConn football, that followed the boxscores and articles in the paper. I went to a handful of games at memorial stadium. I was a slam dunk fan when they upgraded. The guys in my group I got them to get tickets and they got hooked. There are tons of people waiting to get hooked, some way some how, the school has to bring has to tap into those people.
Totally agree they dropped the ball. Billboards are just setting money on fire. We need just north of 1% of the population to have a season ticket to create enough demand to justify stadium expansion. It's not an unreasonable goal.
