Can Anyone Help Jonathan Get to Houston?

[aburks41]

This is a gross misstatement of what happened. The handlers did not turn down free travel because they're ungrateful. They turned it down due to the extremely stringent rules of how his handlers must travel with him. Don't forget he's a specially trained dog, as are his handlers. He cannot be in public without them.

The one(s) who dropped the ball here are those non-Jonathan staffers who didn't offer to or refused to give up their seat and fly commercial so his handlers and him could be on the charter.

That doesn't even make sense. He is a privately owned dog. There are no NCAA or UConn rules that can penalize them here. This is 100% on his owners.

You also can't be serious trying to tell a donor - who offered to spend upwards for $10k-15k for Jonathan - to give up their seat so an additional handler can fly private.

We are making this happen y'all. Will share more details on how it went down once tickets are booked.

Hopefully, they can take him to a doggy brothel while he's there.

That’s absurd. Have you ever met a human being? No one who was told they could get on the team charter from Green was going to say “No, that’s fine, I earned the right to be on this charter but I’ll drive to Logan and fly commercial by myself instead.”

Let me shake your hand and say a job fantastically done

Cant figure why he couldn't do something but I guess he feels its below his pay grade - its plain ridiculous

Tip of the hat to you for making this happen.
You should be given a ticket to the game as an honorary Jonathoan handler.
