These consulting jobs are the biggest con jobs of all time. Look what the former B1G commish Delaney was able to do for CUSA... they got laughed at. All it is is the pilfering of university funds for little to no net positive impact for the university. Just like hiring firms for coaches.
Shows the ACC (and Big10) that we're serious about our future.

I wasn't saying this is directly related to realignment. I'm saying this shows our hoped-for ultimate landing spots (obviously ACC more likely than Big10) that we are professionally run, invest in our affairs/bring in experts when needed, and will spend money to do so. I'd be worried if we did everything in house just to save money - that gives a signal of being second-rate. Now, we can argue all day as to the pros and cons of these firms (this one, Parker Executive, etc.) but that's another episode.LOL… if the past 12 years hasn’t shown that.
Hiring this guy does nothing to show we are serious. He’s today’s Tagliabue and nothing more who can’t move the needle on realignment.

I have followed the forum debate about UConn football staying as a FBS independent or downsizing to FCS. Have you heard any rumors about this consultant looking at that topic for your BoT?The more I thought about this, this is exactly what UCONN would have to say about this given that we just re-joined the Big East. I highly doubt this is Title IX related.
MOOT point as the Governor of CT. is on public record stating that The State & the UConn Board of Trustees are firmly behind UConn staying in FBS.I have followed the forum debate about UConn football staying as a FBS independent or downsizing to FCS.

If you are looking at downgrading, I don't think Beebe is who you hire...you just show up at Big East media days and talk to Georgetown and Villanova.I have followed the forum debate about UConn football staying as a FBS independent or downsizing to FCS.

I wasn't trolling. I was seeking a reason for the consultant hire.nobody downsizes to FCS; it is a phenomenally losing proposition
Idaho? Got relegated primarily because of geography. WE have a great independent schedule going forward and almost P5 facilities from our Big East origin. Stop trolling.
My dad said that Consulting is made up of people who think they know stuff talking to people who think they don't know stuff.
My organization once paid big money to a consultant who developed a reorganization. Six years later they hired a consultant whose reorganization plan reversed everything. They could have saved a lot by listening to their employeesMy dad said that Consulting is made up of people who think they know stuff talking to people who think they don't know stuff.
I did have to clean it up a bit...
