UMass is not going back to FCS. Again, state flagship school that the state wants at the top level. Just like UConn.
We ain't doing a 2-1 with FAU. C'mon. We'd also do a home and home with USF. They don't have clout for a 2-1.
Maybe even loosens academic standards for a dozen to dozen football players a year. Some are coming from community colleges where many students get at least Cs, if not Bs. Who cares about SAT scores anyway.
Big time split in the fan base on this one. Most of the players in the lawsuit are long gone but there still is resentment. A series would represent a life line of sorts to some. I think a game like UConn beats playing random teams like Northern Illinois or something like that. I am pretty sure the 2016 at BC was close to a sell out and that was a lackluster BC team.
I haven't read all of the posts in this thread yet, but I like this idea. Sadly, I haven't seen much else that gives me hope that the football program will be a going concern. All UConn sports (Of my choosing) have been entertaining me for the better part of 30 years. I am holding out hope that the entirety will continue to do so. Alas, odds are far worse than 6/5 or pick'em.
You're assuming to some extent that ticket sales will stay on par or increase. The way I feel right now, by the New Year, I see myself trying to find ways to use the travel grill and pop-up tent. Maybe before my sons' soccer games? Sadly they don't allow Heady-Topper on the Center School grounds. I guess it'll be bourbon in my coffee like the other soccer dads.
Trying...not there yet.
... except you missed out on Army managing their scheduling to enable increased likelihood of some wins. Strategically, very successful implementation after years of struggling.
Is that the game where Diaco went for it on 4th and goal from his 18 in the 1st quarter or something like that?
They're playing each other 4 times in 2 years since they can't fill out an Indy schedule. Basically like a basketball H/H, a few weeks apart.
Maybe it’s not so crazy. UConn fills a spot with a reduced revenue share and gets the extra revenue bump for adding a team. Our revenue share could be $10 Million and the standard member revenue share is 34.3 Million. So, the conference wins and we win.
yup, just read that myself
No its crazy. The worst football team in the history of the sport is not getting promoted to backfill the Big XII. This is just some random twitter user's stupid thought.
It's crazy. Diaco interviewed at BC after the 2012 season. Lot of folks really wanted him but the word was he interviewed terribly. Many took that as just the AD not hiring the right guy and wanting cover. As it turned out, it was totally plausible that he interviewed like a lunatic.
