Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 3226548, member: 549"] No blind faith, just some intel/knowledge on the travel expense discovery process ([URL='https://the-boneyard.com/threads/17m-early-buyout-agreement-per-blaud.145624/page-2#post-3225854']which is what this discussion started out as when you stated the travel savings weren't real[/URL]). You also continue to dismiss the impact of less/closer/cheaper travel by the other 17/18? teams besides MBB, WBB and Football that will play in the Big East Conference. UConn Athletics spent $7.3m on team travel in 2018. Football spent $1.2m of that number. >>[URL='https://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-football/hc-sp-uconn-football-umass-independent-scheduling-20190722-20190725-m7xmcybdgrfnpnlqabz6zc23y4-story.html?fbclid=IwAR0bhZur6qbuTscwThGZ00Iim79DXN-rHmUW96CRQn1kNNyXyji665SzE78']Still, any difference in travel expense for UConn figures to be relatively slight. In the 2018 fiscal year, UMass (playing a schedule similar to what the Huskies might build) spent $1,193,649 on football travel, according to the school’s NCAA financial statement, almost identical to the $1,151,379 that UConn spent as a member of the AAC. That comparison suggests travel expenses won’t rise much when the Huskies become independent and certainly shouldn’t offset the savings UConn expects from its other sports programs. [/URL]<< Are the projections likely to have some deviation as actual expenses come in... sure. Show me a multi-year analysis that doesnt have some assumptions built into it that may fluctuate. That's not "inherently sloppy" - that's life. But what does a dumb old ambulance driver know... [/QUOTE]
