It’s shocking the AD is broke

It's top heavy and seems to lack business sense. Right now though it seems to be all in getting to the P5. If it pays off, all will be forgiven/forgotten. If not, well the purge that will come will fix the hemorrhaging. Agree that there appear to be significant inefficiencies.

Hysterical thread though Whaler.

I’m missing which activities are geared towards getting into the P5. The head football coach is paying assistants out of his pocket and they are spending money rolling out a social media site that is utterly worthless in this example.

They also bring in Jamelle Elliott to a made up job. I am sure this is rampant over the entire athletic department. Yeah revenue is down but they spend like drunken sailors. Fiscal responsibility is non-existinat.

The State of Connecticut in a nutshell.

I remember Geno trashing Cincinnati for firing Jamelle Elliott (she had a terrible 9 year record.) In their first game vs UConn with their new coach they only lost to us by 10.

Maintaining 24 varsity sports so that they are a good match for the sports of a target conference and generate content for a network or online content comes immediately to mind. Paring down the excessive overhead in administration and paring down the numbers of sports offered or two readily apparent fixes to our current lack of profitability. Once we give up or P5 aspirations those will be the first things to go.

What conference do you think the target conference is?

The stadium never should have been proposed to be constructed in Hartford. No parking for 68,000 people, no tailgating areas, a complete traffic nightmare. It should have been proposed where the Rent is. This site proposal is typical of Connecticut power brokers and I would like to know who was the one that pushed this concept through. Patriots fans at Gillette do not pregame at restaurants. Completely clueless leadership here.

Tailgate barges out on the river.

Lol, just about any
