Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 3391618, member: 93"] LOL. You’re not from around here, are you? But New Jersey may be in even worse shape financially so I’m surprised you don’t appreciate the financial constraints that our state is under, which extends to our state university. The university runs on a budget, broken down by department and line item. This ain’t in the budget and someone’s gotta eat it. I don’t think anyone at the university has the appetite to make the case for that. New president? How could he have the necessary perspective? Suzie and AD David Benedict owned the decision and they can’t be the ones to press for UConn to pay now. Calhoun could make the case in a heartbeat, but he’s not here anymore in any capacity, and he’s ensnared in this thing and estranged from KO, too, so not much hope there, either. There is no one who has even glanced at this board in the past few years who is not aware of your passion for defending the university to the hilt in this thing or your zeal to see KO crushed over it. We all understand your arguments and your position. I am not trying to disabuse you of any of them. I am only hoping for a resolution that avoids more situations like the one that started this thread because I feel like there may be a funk hanging over us until that happens. [/QUOTE]
