Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4746293, member: 833"] A big city team with an alumni base that is wealthy and willing to support the football program. Watch out for SMU in the future. The rural schools are going to have a hard time competing for top players in an NIL and Transfer Portal world. The urban and suburban universities have a massive advantage in paying players. There are more people, more rich people, and more corporations in big cities. If UConn is not able to turn into an NIL powerhouse, there is no one to blame but UConn. We are a wealthy, urban/suburban mid-sized state with a large and vibrant business community. Connecticut will never have an NFL or NBA team to compete with UConn. We have a lot going for us to be competitive in NIL. [/QUOTE]
