They should be putting every dollar (with the exception of $$ for basketball) to football starting with paying for a top, proven coaching staff to AT LEAST make football competitive. It can happen quickly. Other schools who spend less than us have done it. Last month I asked AD David Benedict at a reception if he was concerned about the lack of improvement this year, he said he wasn't and had total confidence in Edsall and Crocker and if the team hasn't shown improvement in 5 years, then he would be concerned. Talk about setting the bar nice and low. Of course, he won't be here in 5 years so why does he care? Anyway, pay enough, and a good staff will come. As for the NBE. I don't get why folks are so high on going to the NBE. Why is that better than the American? The NBE is not even a shadow of the old Big East. Those days are long gone. And the AAC is damn good conference - alot closer to p5 than the NBE. I actually feel pretty happy/lucky we are in the conference. Frankly, I get the feeling the other schools in the conference talk about UConn the way we talk about Tulsa and ECU. We just gotta turn around the football program. It can be done. I don't want to say it can't get any worse because every time I say that, it does. [/QUOTE]
