AD David Benedict 5/11 Interview with FOX 61 (Video)

[Fishy]

We're taking him too literally about the words "next year."

He meant it differently I believe.

As in, it will happen next year, or any year. But it WILL happen. Realignment will continue is his pint. Next year OR the year after that OR the year after that.

That's how he meant it - he wasn't saying that it's either the Big 12 or something that will come along next year, he's saying that eventually there will be more realignment and he thinks we're well-positioned for it.

There's nothing new here.

 

[BoatShow]

Don't make too much of "next year" do people think that if we're invited in June we are playing Big12 football in September 2016?

 

[Adios]

Our football OOC schedule in 2019 involve Illinois, Indiana, UMass and Wagner. Something has to be up. Or better be up.

Nothing new for the denizens of the BY...

He appears to be genuinely sanguine regarding our prospects. To me, the best news is that a high level UConn administrator is publicly addressing the elephant in the room in a very positive manner. This really hasn't been done before. It was always tip toeing around the issue with the usual positive AAC reference thrown in. It was set up nicely by Nathan so Benedict didn't have to look like a carnival barker in making our obvious case. Good stuff and more reason to be cautiously optimistic.
