Another attempt to keep the Sun here.

My point was about the State of CT investment but no the Federal Government should not be investing in private enterprises

Like pretty much all answers, you have to qualify that with a big "depends." I would suggest that there are times where it makes sense and is in the country's best interest. The problem is that "investing" the due diligence consists of how much cash you can load into a dump truck and dump on the institution. Like you, I have a very healthy skepticism about it because politicians think like politicians and not businessmen. Dumping wheelbarrels full of cash on companies because it makes a political statement is inevitably a bad decision.

That said I feel like we're getting into political drift so let's end it here.

Threatening to sue the WNBA to keep the Sun in CT is an act of sheer desperation.

But right out of Blumenthol's playbook apparently...

Lol, so you're saying that Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State are all in worse financial circumstances than we are? That list effectively proves the point that caring debt in and of itself isn't an evil in end of itself.

If you want to have some fun, go and look at the athletic department franchises values that was posted in a different thread. Look at those schools position versus our schools position.

You're welcome.

I'm not saying Ohio State, Michigan, PSU are in a worse situation, you did... most of the top 20 revenue generating AD's also carry debt and many run in the red operating-wise. Just because you have high end revenue it doesn't mean you make a profit. It also doesn't mean you aren't concerned about revenue/expenses/bottom line. Heck, just today the Ohio State President is talking about the Big10 one day having an unequal revenue distribution model like the ACC. I'd say every D1 school is concerned with every aspect of their budgets; especially now with athlete revenue share, NIL, reduced academic research grants, etc.

WHY?? The TV channel that televises most of the Sun's game is in BOSTON!

Why don't all the concerned people who are working so hard to keep the Sun in Connecticut. speak to some CT channels?

NESN covers yard goats games when the Red Sox are not playing. Maybe we should move them Boston University’s baseball stadium. Our beloved team used to be on SNY all the time. Maybe they should be moved to New York
