Message: [QUOTE="Jetskies, post: 4755679, member: 12253"] what constitutes a "sign of life"? we have the facilities/stadium/payroll necessary to be a solid G5 program. forget P4 or any conference affiliation right now. We literally have what we need structurally, to be a 6-6 team, consistently. That's not even an impressive record, though it feels like it to us. I honestly believe that we just need to get our football team playing respectably (not even GREAT) to get a chance at the big stage. I don't think anything else is needed to do the following: 2023: 3-9 2024: 6-6 2025: 7-5 2026: 5-7 2027: 8-4 (flagship season to earn the conversation with the big 12 or ACC - maybe an invite) 2028: 7-5 (last season as indep.) 2029: [B]beginning of the future :) - JM completes his wish of saving UConn; retires and hands off the reins to ________. [/B] note, these aren't good numbers. I did that on purpose. these teams just gotta play good enough to earn a phone call/legitimate conversation and then the invite. Basketball will probably lead the way, but football has to earn the money that it will be given under the tv contracts. Thinking of a "kansas" or "duke" model. [B]Again, i don't think anything else is needed to achieve this ^. Other than players playing and coaches coaching.[/B] [/QUOTE]
