Half the AAC teams are not leaving unless there is a massive shakeup. It's ridiculous that so many people are acting like it is a given, especially the scenario where we get left behind. If that happens [U]then we have the Chaos scenario[/U], which will lead to a feeding frenzy. UConn might be viewed as the top property in the league 4-5 years from now. UCF had a terrible football team 3 years ago. None of this static. What UConn does is [U]position itself the best it can to win in that chaos scenario[/U]. It invests in football, restoring it to respectability. It makes sure that basketball is what it should be at UConn. It invests in ancillary facilities valued by these leagues to show that it has a whole portfolio in the AD. So what have we done? 1. Fired a bad football coach and brought in one who, while not exciting, is known for making his teams tough and competitive. 2. Fired a bad basketball coach and brought in the best available coach on the market. Play level is already improved, as has recruiting. 3. Build a new soccer stadium for our NCAA tournament caliber program. 4. Build a new baseball stadium for our NCAA tournament caliber program. We are doing the things we should be doing to prepare for this situation. [/QUOTE]
