BEHIND THE SCENES (PART II): Edsall Opens Up On Program In Two-Part Series

[junglehusky]

The more I think of this, it's one thing to pay lip service to athletics by calling them the front porch of the university, it's another to have a plan in place you're able to execute. She sorta exposed her hand when she publicly questioned if it was s good idea to put kids on a bus to Ames Iowa way back when CR started. She was caught totally flat footed.

Those are things any school president would say / do. Herbst positioned UConn as well as was possible when the Big 12 non-expansion happened. Zero issue with her approach.

??? If she really thought it was wise to question putting kids on a bus to Ames, she didn't have a vision for what was coming. Thay she put forth a great presentation when left with hat in hand is if little solace to me as a fan.

This is a bad faith interpretation. Go back and read her quotes over the years. She was highly aware of the landscape, knew UConn's strengths in athletics, TV markets, etc.

We've come full circle. You are what your record says you are. I'm okay with that. People that know better than me say she's been great for the university. Athletics are inarguably in worst spot since she came here.

Here's what everyone on all sides of the issue fails to understand...

She's not getting fired for athletics. Nor does the operation of the university revolve solely around athletics.

It may be easier and more gratifying for we the fans if it did. But it doesn't.

Not one person fails to understand this.

It doesn’t put out the tire fire in the athletic department.

Dubious.

Whoa. No one remotely thinks she's getting fired.

The teams I root for habe gotten exponentially worse on her watch.

State money for the university is gonna slow down quite a bit.

She's not getting fired for athletics.

Lunacy to even raise the issue. She's not getting fired, period.
