Thank you for bringing a ray of hope to my weekend! any way to keep us in the news!
noticed the espn article said Hartford, CT... Wasn't sure if that was the location of his comments.Wasn't PAC-12 President in Hartford yesterday?
for first tier rights against that schedule? Easily $25M.I'll admit 20-25 mill a year sounds a bit ambitious to me, but if you told me UConn could negotiate a contract as independent using those parameters I would think that 12-15 mill would be realistic.

The PAC10 held a meeting at ON20 in Hartford.Wasn't PAC-12 President in Hartford yesterday?
Why Hartford? Seems a weird location unless they really did want to talk to UConn.The PAC10 held a meeting at ON20 in Hartford.
Sny/mets can create a bowl game at citi field with a uconn tie in if we have a winning record. Hell set it up against the american conference.The issue with independent has an always will be bowls. We would have no tie ins and no access to the BCS bowls.

mentioned this a little while ago as his name seemed familiar. wasn't sure it was the same guy... It was the ACC post which I bumped up for reference...Didn't from the inside post here before and Nelson ran him away too?
I mean it sounds wild, but hell, it gives me hope!
Hmmm. My spidey sense is telling me this is definitely not the same "FromTheInside" that posted here last year. In fact, to me it sounds like a certain former boneyarder - who enjoys throwing slashes on random lists and making crazy unrealistic scenarios sound easy as pie (and then get on his soapbox and rant about how everybody else is a bunch of clowns for not making that crazy scenario come to fruition in two months) - finally figured out how to edit his sentences and use capitalization.
I could be wrong, but that's my gut reaction.
To put it bluntly, I don't believe a single thing he said is true, or actually happening, or will ever actually happen. It's a nice five minute fantasy, but nothing more.
He put a lot of effort into the fantasy though, didn't he?
4 things:
Pretty sure that is the same guy and I did run him off. In my defense, he went a little Internet stalker on me.
This would be awesome if true. Despite, not knowing the difference between a ratings point and total viewers, that guy mostly got it right 18 months ago about the ACC and ND.
Pretty sure another poster on this board thought that UConn would be better off in the Big East for hoops and Independent. That would be me.
If this starts to happen, I think the ACC will stop it and invite us. The last thing the ACC wants is dinky UConn viable as an independent. If UConn could get even $15 million, imagine what FSU could do on their own.
Is it really that far-fetched? I don't think so...nobody believes this because nobody has seen creativity around UConn like this before...piggy back the entire athletic department off of our bread and butter which is men's and women's bball...this is what a true "rock star" AD would do, no? Those PAC 12 and SEC teams would love to play bball in NY area and get an easy OOC win in football, no? Please be true or someone send this to Warde so he can see what he has to do to live up to his Rock Star status.To put it bluntly, I don't believe a single thing he said is true, or actually happening, or will ever actually happen.

Thats an absurd theory. There is no way that the poster you are referring to learned how to write and edit full sentences that quickly.
