Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4074884, member: 9844"] This is not an either or issue, it was mostly for diehard Uconn basketball fans, be they students, seniors, state residents or fans that live thousands of miles away. Between allowing just students locally and TV and video feed, all those fans were supposedly covered. But instead we got an incompetent production. If it was one isolated issue maybe you say you know what happens. But it wasn't one problem it was many problems. Was it like a pep rally? sure so what! It is a reflection on the state, university, basketball program, and is often used as a major recruiting tool, as it is at other Universities. Some recruit on another visit will probably hear, why would you want to go to Uconn, they can't even handle First Night. Is it a monumental issue? No, but if you want to be known as a top flight program, you want that to be shown in everything you do. This was an avoidable black mark on that reputation, and just saying hopefully next year will be better, without taking concrete steps to fix the issues, would be negligence in a major way. [/QUOTE]
