Final Game Week - UConn @ Cincinnati (11/25/17 @ Noon on ESPNews)

Well, if BYers were the only people buying tix I would agree. But the vast majority of the market only sees the W-L and if the Huskies get the last W, the narrative will be that the program has bottomed out and headed back up. And with some justification, actually. All the fan base wants to see is a competitive team and enough Ws to be respectable.

No attack her RSTuthill but one has to wonder where you get your theory on something like this. :)
There are those like myself that will be at every game next year with our group of four but there are those that simply have given up. The dollar has gotten tighter for the middle class and there has to be more justification on how it is spent. You say the fan base only wants to see a competitive team and I agree but with the caveat of also having a competitive schedule. We lost that with CR and it is showing in ticket sales....
I am not one to be negative as I want nothing more than this program to reach heights of being in a major bowl picture every year. Having said that I do not predict great seasons ticket sales next year, win or lose to Cincy.....Not much here to excite the non die-hards.

Well, the rationale is simple. How effective it might be is anyone's guess. But an 0-80 loss in Cinci would be a disaster. And probably makes it that much more likely that UConn is one year closer to taking a step back to FCS.

What worries me is that out of the blue Jacobs just wrote a column about taking WBB and FH to another conference as single sports. What do you think happens to all the other sports if that happens? I can tell you this: continuing the financial loses of FBS football for very long is not gonna be an option.

Things are going to get ugly in the long run with the budget. What the score is Saturday does not matter. Most people stopped paying attention 3-5 years ago.

This is the truth but few care to listen to it

Buying season tickets just makes no financial sense anymore. I can get tix on stubhub for 5 bucks, why buy them at face value?

I view my season ticket purchase as a donation to UCONN and an investment in the football program. I live outside of Boston, have 3 young kids, and a wife who notices when I'm not doing my weekend chores. I only hit 2 or 3 games a season. But I'll keep buying season tickets.
