You have any public comments he's made to back this up? This is the first time I'm hearing of Malloy wanting to send us back to a division we were never a member of...

I'd also think that if the President and AD were thinking of shutting down football, there'd be more than one person on a message board spreading the word. Hell, why even hire Benedict from an SEC school if you're trashing football?

No they won't shut down football, but will they sack Division I-A football and send the program back to Division I-AA? It would not surprise me to see that happen in 6 or 7 years, obviously they can't do it overnight like the Governor wants, as there would be a statewide revolt. Can they weaken the program year by year? Yes absolutely, and the reason is money, and it just is not there. UCONN football is at the bottom of the states list of priorities. If it was at the top of the states list of priorities, Bob Diaco never would have been hired as our head coach, he'd be being considered as our Defensive Coordinator, our stadium would be on campus in Storrs and hold between 50,000 and 60,000 fans. Last but not least our AD's office would not have a revolving door, and our present AD would be a former P5 AD. Connecticut as a state has among the highest taxes in the country, the economy sucks. Corporations are leaving the state in droves. Look at the AP top 20, are there any teams in the top 20 that play in a high tax state? Look at Houston and how that team has exploded on the scene, do you think it's a coincidence that that program and it's rise happened in Texas? For a state to support major college football programs, BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS, you need a decent economy and relatively low taxes and cost of living. Sure there might be some exceptions to this rule here and there, but a small minority.

If you think the State of Connecticut and the Hartford statehouse is behind the football program in Storrs, then I have to tell you, the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus do not exist and Dan Malloy wipes his ass with his season tickets. If Malloy had his way we'd be back in Division II.

Dan Malloy has less than a full term left as Gov. Then he will be known as "Former Gov Dan Malloy"! Who really cares what he thinks of UConn football..or UConn sports for that matter!
 
Lol Purdue claims that some of the names you'll hear wrt to their opening are Les Mikes and Lane Kiffin.
Hahahahahahahahahaha

It's not just what Malloy thinks, his successor will be cut from the same cloth. I can't remember the last time Connecticut had a conservative republican or democrat, or conservative dominated statehouse. Besides conservative Democrats became extinct about 20 years ago. Look at it another way, for the most part, every state that produces big time college football teams year after year, regardless of who the coach is, will go for Trump heavily in the upcoming election. He might not win all those states but he won't be trounced by Clinton either, like he will be in CT, NY, Mass, NJ, Calif. I'm not a Trump supporter, can't stand the guy, I'm just stating how i think big time college sports, economics and politics effect each other.

There are no term limits on the governor's office. He could be gone by January if Clinton wins the presidential election. He's been angling for a spot in her cabinet for quite a while. If she doesn't win or doesn't name him to the cabinet, he very well could seek a third term in 2018.

So completely wrong on so many levels it's not even worth the effort to try to correct.

At the risk of making this thread more political than it already is, Malloy has been quoted as stating he won't be running for re-election in 2018.

That will be the last non-sports thread I will make in here.

UConn is not dropping football. But if you ask the basketball fans their scenario is UConn drops or downgrades to 1AA them basketball goes to the Big East. Huskyrob and his friends will be happy. Until the Big East slowly becomes the Horizon...

Small percentage has that perspective. Most understand the importance of football.

Well, the Rent's always been a rent. The annual occupancy rate of about 10 or so days maximum is as good as the owner, the State of Connecticut, has ever proven an ability to achieve.
 
Was one of the rumored names batted around in 2013 UConn search.

Source: Tim DeRuyter will not return at Fresno State

>>After a 1-7 start to his fifth season leading the program, sources tell FootballScoop that Tim DeRuyter has been will not return at Fresno State. DeRuyter’s tenure on the west coast got off to a great start, going 9-4 in his first season in 2012, followed by an 11-2 finish in 2013, to compile a 20-6 record in his first two seasons as a head coach. The years that followed have not been kind to DeRuyter though and the program has seen a steady decline in wins, going 6-8 in 2014 (with a trip to the Hawaii Bowl), and a 3-9 ending to 2015 before the 1-7 start to this season.<<

Interesting angle to watch out for on Fresno State. AD Jim Bartko came from Oregon. Could be a soft landing spot for Mark Helfrich.

Medic, IIRC when we brought Diaco here there was an assistant at ND Diaco wanted to bring along but Kelly wouldn't allow it. Do you remember who that was, is there a chance he could help us and would Kelly now allow him to leave?

I thought it was Mike Elston who was the D-Line coach there.

I believe Jeff Tedford is Jim Bartko's first choice as HC. But no deal has been made, and Tedford will not be on the sideline this season.

Florida OC Doug Nussmeier is another name floating around the industry today for Fresno State

AD Jim Bartko says there have been "no discussions" with Jeff Tedford, who's been rumored to replace DeRuyter.
