Not exactly. I don't really think this is a true private equity deal, but if it was, RedBird would have a seat at the table of the company they were investing in. RedBird's incentive would be to improve its investment and if they thought adding a business line or asset (UConn) was in the...

Someone has to tell coach that the singular is Husky! Sorry... pet peeve. Probably not a big deal for others. Seems like a great place for Bell. So much NFL success is luck, and it helps to join a successful team with a great quarterback.

If we could join with no strings attached then I'd be for it. But I don't think the PAC would take us without a buy-in and/or buy-out. We need the financial flexibility to pay whatever entrance or share deferral we're going to be forced into.

It also seems like they are trying to get money to pay for stuff that should not really be a concern. Summer school and food? Is that really something that other schools can't otherwise provide to football players?

Cable boxes.

post/Avatar picture. 😀 That sandwich keeps the carbs down. Sodium could be an issue though.

The proverbial fat girl that has hot friends. Except in this case, they aren't really even friends. They just let her hang out with them because her parents have money (but she doesn't). To be fair though, we have some fans that act the same way when it comes up that we should play UMass in...

My kid gets it with a hash brown. I usually sneak one bite because it's over the top, but awesome.

I went with BEC, but the real answer is Taylor Ham (I'd grudgingly accept "Pork Roll"), egg and cheese.

Everyone has said it. Totally understandable move. This is one of those situations where I'm glad the transfer rules changed to not having to sit for a year. It just never fully clicked for Jaylin. Maybe it will somewhere else. Good luck, and as long as he doesn't transfer to one of a few...

I get that, but merging two struggling institutions and thinking they'll get better together is a bit like two drug addicts getting together in rehab. They'll support each other for a while, but chances are one will drag the other down at some point. I think Elon was fine also, and they took...

Tough to merge a Catholic school with a non-Catholic school. How about Union and Skidmore? Who wouldn't want a branch in Saratoga over Schenectady?

That's in line with what the NJ Gov said. It's going to cost NJ $48 million for all the extra trains, overtime, etc. If FIFA doesn't want that to fall on the attendees they can share some of the $11 billion plus that they are making. As someone that lives in NJ I'm good with that. As someone...

Don't forget Lulu Lemon and Saks (being replaced with something else now that Saks is gone) credits. Another good one is a $12.95 per month credit for Walmart+ (free shipping and delivery and more streaming services). We have also used Delta and Platinum Lounges which is worth a hundreds just...

I know you guys are just arguing with Nelson, but it's clearly the Big East that has the best chance of a school failure. Flagship universities (including Kentucky and even West Virginia) won't fail. There will be consolidation of state schools, but not the large P4 institutions. Penn State is...
