Message: [QUOTE="Jetskies, post: 5345583, member: 12253"] my surely-flawed take: [LIST] [*]CT is showing up to the rent, about as well as can be expected for our recent history and current level of opponents coming to the rent. We are getting better, and seeing 25-30K people at a game is reflective of that. We could be playing in front of 8-12K - just imagine those optics. So... thankful for those who do come and show that uconn is not a complete waste of their fall saturday. [*]CT will show up again to pack the rent vs. P4 opponents, if we have a realistic shot to win those games. right now, we don't. I don't expect a packed rent to see [I]current[/I] UConn vs. an Ole Miss or similar. UMass had Missouri at home recently, and it still looked like... a UMass game. Meaning, we'd still get ~25K, i think. [*]we are doing the right thing chasing WINS right now, even if the competition is CUSA or AAC. If our talent budget is a G6 budget, then that's just what we are; a G6. It's not good or bad; it just IS. You schedule accordingly - there's no point in going 1-11 against a "gorgeous" schedule, with the sole win being against Yale or CCSU - we've seen that movie. [*]we should not FILL the schedule with P4s until we are in a P4 ourselves, UNLESS by some miracle we've established our NIL infrastructure to the point where talent-wise, we are absolutely manhandling G6's for multiple years prior to that decision to shift the scheduling philosophy. By manhandling, I mean going 8-0, 7-1 consistently every year against a G6 slate. Ideally by 2+ touchdowns each time, but a win is a win. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
