Message: [QUOTE="Nostical, post: 5066942, member: 749"] And enough already with The Rent. The conversations we keep having about keeping our football in The Rent —and pouring more money to renovate it—is (let me say it out loud here) insane. How many students come to UConn looking forward to getting on a bus to watch us play bad football. Stop deceiving yourselves. The on-campus stadium is imperative to our future succes. If we had our own stadium on campus we would not be paying to rent “The Rent”. We’d own the ticket sales, the parking, the concessions, the naming rights. Right now we’re bleeding money. Our football team can improve (I’m convinced we can) but if we’re bleeding revenue we’re dumber than we deserve to be. And we can’t survive on Big East payouts. We need Big 12 payouts, especially to revenue share with players. Our commitment to the Big 12 requires huge inflows from the State, and our boosters.. (Have we ever reached out to the Indian tribes for major investment in our athletic programs?—just asking) This is a wake up call for UConn and the State of Connecticut. It’s existential for UConn football. Innovative leaders from our political, business and university communities need to step up and save our ability to compete at the level that befits this highly admired land grant school. Time is running out. Hoping to see a big turnout this weekend down In Maryland. Let’s root the guys to victory! That’s the kind of unspoken message that counts more than most. [/QUOTE]
