We will be focusing on big time football and conference realignment when they come back
Typical weenie lib NPR host now ripping sports.
SH - we're growing. Self perception and how others perceive you are intimately linked. (Implies if fans help promote UConn it will help outside perception)
.
Do you really expect top tier athletic departments to be built overnight? All schools coming to the Big East or whatever it will be called all have a common goal. God Almighty.We are screwed folks I know its fun to pretend and ride the uss conn but the reality of the situation is truly awful. Pray for instability and further realignment because these two will not be getting us into a conference without it
Asked the million dollar question: what happens if this league you are banking on just goes away.
Warde says we don't wnat that to happen. We control how good we are. We are in the Big East.
That means she's aiming....um, B1G!Herbst made a point to describe UCONN as a "research" university.
I think this isn't an issue at all... where --- are the schools going to go? There's no real western conference to speak of... Conference USA? Please.
Everyone who has an serious aspirations at all about football and is outside of a power conference NEEDS for this conference to work.
John Dankosky is awesome. He's one of the only people who covers CT politics and culture with anything resembling depth. Sports are not his level of expertise. Expecting NPR personalities to be sports experts is silly.
The MWC is no worse than our proposed league. Our league no longer has an chance at a lucrative TV deal, none. Our league includes difficult travel situations for the schools, and has no chance of generating any real mindshare because it has no identity. It is doomed to fail.
But it as clear as ever that that's where we are headed, whether the western schools join or not. The perception of UConn will drop even further, even in basketball. WM and SH seemed accutely aware of the problem, and helpless to do anything about it.
Dan (HFD? Dan97?) question on Rent expansion
WM - would love to have the need to do that. We have to generate success on the field and fan interest. Chicken or the egg question, sounds like want to sell out first before adding the seats.
