Probably the guy that has his name on the practice facility, that has been extremely philanthropic to the university, and is the CEO of a company located an hour from campus

He’s not going to be shelling $ out for recruits like that.


This is not happening in CT for a basketball player.

UConn is a little bigger than UK, CT. is one of the wealthiest states in the country, we're next to the media capital of the world, there's probably 15 or so billionaires in the state.

UConn isn’t a huge brand like UK basketball. My point isn’t that CT isn’t a wealthy state, it’s that UConn will not get this type of support from anyone in the NIL scene. I’d love to be proven wrong, but it doesn’t seem like it’s in the cards for us. Schools with crazy boosters are going to run wild and we can only watch.

Your post just wasn't accurate, UK isn't a larger state school than UConn and we obviously have all the money in the world right around us to compete. It's a question of do we want to? If the answer is yes, it's how do we go about tapping into all that's right around us.

Do any of these billionaires have a die hard interest in UConn basketballs success? We can’t just steal their money.

I don't know but the Governor of the state is worth hundreds of millions of dollars and he has a vested interest in UConn basketball success. He also has friends who are as wealthy/more wealthy than he is.

They're all located in Fairfield county and consider themselves part of New York, not CT.

There are. But apparently this only exists in the south (saracasm). Whether or not they want to play this game I have no idea, but I can think of a couple beyond the 1 I inferred earlier. I am not going to throw any other names around here as if to say it is their responsibility but if you look into the big players involved in making the practice facility happen, there are a couple folks that could theoretically come forward again.

Yeah, that’s right, and I heard ESPN is moving to Louisville.

Actually, most of us in lower Fairfield County, including some very wealthy guys I know, consider ourselves part of CT. And by the way, this County, whose residents you choose to deride, contributes an outsized proportion of personal and corporate taxes to state coiffures, which of course is distributed throughout the state.

We are New York's team.

Was mostly joking. People repeat that CT is one of the richest states and quote x number of high net worth individuals live here. But anecdotally the bulk of that wealth is based on Fairfield county.

Are we New York's team or can we claim it cause fans from all over the State will travel into New York?

See response above, I was kidding.

But does your response add to the we're Fairfield and then there's everyone else sentiment?

Come on, dude. In fact, it’s the opposite. Most people in CT don’t consider Fairfield County and its residents true Nutmeggers. You’re riding an oft-constructed agenda that eminates from the east and north. And you know it. So stop.
