Message: [QUOTE="'nuff sed, post: 3009897, member: 9579"] The thread topic makes the assumption that there is an issue with WBB budgets, and at UConn. Sure there's an issue with WBB budgets -----they are UNDERFUNDED UConn's 3.1M reported deficit.....nothing at all wrong with it......its a red herring. What's 3M to a 80M bill, geez, you can barely fill a bunch of Hartford potholes for 3M. What WBB can do is market itself to increase revenue......there's 2 sides to the balance sheet ya' know. You need to realize its the non-sports crowd that is sustaining the system.....and WBB appeals to the non-sports crowd. Older, upper middle class, educated and white, ---that want to be attached to a brand image--- that's the ticket, its been the ticket since '95......I think Geno, more CD really I think, delivers that. And Burning Bridges....yeah, we went to war with BC.......but if you went to UConn in the 60's , I went in the late 70's, you know UConn was very adept at burning in state bridges too....I'm from New Haven and there are still a lot of folks around that don't want anything to do with them. It was an earned reputation. [/QUOTE]
