    Jim Mora: Something feels different

    DB told Mora he would get him into a P-Conf. When he becomes AD at ASU he will hire Mora as the FB coach. That way he can keep this promise. Once again only UC football gets left behind.

    UConn AD returns to Phoenix area, where he once worked for Arizona State (AzCentral)

    UConn is a glorified mid-major in the world of big time athletics. Football is everything , basketball is a distance second. Football is heading to 2-3 super conferences. All other schools will just become their farm systems. Talk is they will break away from the NCAA and set their own rules and...

    Nick Charlton headed to Cleveland Browns > Offensive Assistant/Run-Game Specialist

    Late + bad timing to replace OC. Need to be consistent to be successful. Did we just go through this a couple of years ago with DC out at the start of the season ? Maybe JM is the problem + and is not the guy behind closed doors we think he is. Can it be he is has a problem dealing with people ...

    3-3-2-2-1

    Why not just a 32 team double elimination playoff. Then everybody would be happy. It can finish 1 week before the start of spring football. Since academics is no longer an issue + they are being paid , they certainly have the time.

    UMass > MAC for all sports in 2025-2026

    1. Two independents left. Everyone wants ND, no one wants UConn. 2. Does not the MAC play most of their November games on Tues + Wed nights ? No thanks to that. 3. The ACC will be dismantled. No left overs for UC to align with. B1G takes 4 teams. SEC takes 4 teams. B12 takes 4 teams. AAC...

    NIL Injunction

    Wait until the players form + join a union. If you get NIL $ or pay you should not be allowed to receive a scholarship. Pay your own tuition.

    As college football's elite is engulfed in a power struggle, G5 left just trying to survive: 'We are a farm system'(Ross Dellenger @ Yahoo)

    What is the final goal of the SEC / B1G ? Maybe they should just merge with the USFL. A split season . And just pay the universities $ for use of their facilities + school name.

    Could the budget shortfall affect athletics?

    Football is a hard sell in a woke state like CT. The demographics prefer soccer, frisbee + women's tennis. Let's be just like Vermont ? All realignment is about football. NC- NCST-Duke have no trouble leaving the ACC for greener pastures of football. BB is for women + men that are too woke...

    BC’s Hafley takes job as Packers DC

    Unfortunately a vast number of non UC alumni who support football are now living in S. Carolina + Florida. Today's younger generation prefer soccer over football.

    BC’s Hafley takes job as Packers DC

    College football in New England continues to die out. It's a baren wasteland in today's world of power conferences and super teams. Low interest + aging demographics are making it irrelevant to the rest of the country. BC is hanging on only because of it's ACC affiliation. IF ACC breaks apart...

    Northwestern starts stadium rebuild

    Tear down + replacement. No public money. Interesting. Current stadium capacity 47k . New stadium 35k. I thought B1G felt the Rent was too small. Rutgers had to go from 40k to 53k . And still The Rent continues to deteriorate for lack of interest and of $$$.

    what is a "commitment" in 2024?

    Great info ! Is there any stats on why players portal out ? Money , playing time ,academics ? Did you see the last USC game . The announcers said Caleb Williams takes 1 on line course and spends the rest of his time at the FB facility.

    OT: Florida State to sue ACC over GOR

    I would think that Florida would try to block FSU into the SEC. The same with South Carolina with Clemson. Can they convince enough of the other schools to agree ? Best bet foe SEC to add North Carolina + Virginia .

    Tenn post game thread

    LSU beat Army 62-0. Penn St beat UMas 63-0. So what exactly did you think was going to happen in Knoxville? College football to people in the northeast is what college hockey is to people in the deep south. If James Madison-Tulane - Air Force can make it to the top 25, there has to be hope...

    Level-Headed Analysis - Stadium

    Kansas is spending 300m on FB Stadium + area renovations. They have raised 165m with no state money. KU +UC are both considered BB schools with weak FB. Wealth in Connecticut has to be far superior than Kansas. So how come they can get it done? And you wonder why America's perception of UC is...

    CBS Sports on why it is good UConn did not join Big 12

    First of all BB likes being the Big man on campus. At most P5 schools its 2nd fiddle to FB. They don't want to give up/share the glory. It's called jealousy. Second of all it's the fake Big East. If it so great why did Miami-Syracuse-BC-Rutgers- Pitt- West Virginia-ND-Louisville all leave ? Who...

    Colorado in Big XII

    UC fate in the hands of the PAC-12 + it's TV deal. IF it' $$ are too low teams will bolt. Washington + Oregon desire the BIG10. The B12 top choices are 1. Utah 2. Arizona 3. AZ ST. 4 UConn. Best hope is for PAC 12 teams to stay with a revised league. If they leave, UC too far down the list...

    Analysis: Emotional pull of Big East vs. revenue boost of Big 12. Why UConn may be lured by Power 5 invite (Mike Anthony)

    If given the chance would Clemson-Miami-FSU leave the ACC for SEC or B1G ? YES. If given the chance would N. Carolina - Virginia leave the ACC for SEC or B1G ? YES. If given the chance would Louisville-Pitt leave the ACC for the B12 ? YES. They just need a way pass the 2036 exit fee. If any...

    Jim Mora aims to win national championship as UConn football coach. He's serious: 'Have to believe that' (Mike Anthony)

    The BE is a league of small private catholic schools. Except for MBB it's a small step above the Ivy League. Does UC want to be a big fish in a small pond ? Is the goal to be like URI + Villanova ? If your not power 5, you will be left behind. Football is the driving force, all other sports...

    How transfer portal has impacted UConn football program's rebuild: 'Challenge for us' (Aldam/Hearst)

    How can UC even keep up ? By adding USC / UCLA to B1G they think that TV revenue can be 80m per team per year. B1G + SEC will be super conferences. All others will be left behind financially. It was reported that Texas gave Archie Manning 3.5 m in NIL money. Clemson + FSU want a higher share of...

    Given football is so important…

    P5 football schools are going to break away from the NCAA. Once that is set look for MBB + WBB to follow. Why would they want to share revenue with the other 250+ schools ? That means they can take 80% of all TV money + bids to the NCAA Tournament. Basketball priority schools will be left...

    Pessimism grows in college football over season starting on time (update: it’s crumbling):

    Logistics involving 125 teams is a nightmare. There is the P5 and then there is the rest. UC has been left behind, most likely forever. P5 schools will break away from the NCAA in football + basketball. Set their own rules, standards and TV deals. Not sure if non P5 schools can continue to...

    I love Football and this Board... That being said would we actually save money if they canceled the season?

    P5 athletic directors have floated a shorted schedule ( league games only ) if necessary. UC could play a H/H this year with Maine-UMass-Army - @ND (1 game only). The Ivy league talked at one time of playing their 7 league games in the spring. ND said would not play if the students are not...

    Fox Sports: UConn football heads toward independence.

    The next piece of the puzzle is now in place. When UC drops down to 1-AA they can use Dillon stadium (cap=5500) as their new home. No longer any need to use the Rent.
