If that first half was "prosperity" I'd hate to see poverty.
100%...I've been to way to many games on campus where the majority of students just don't care or lose interest. And it's got worse over the years with social media distractions, smart phones, etc...Free entrance to hockey games, baseball. Soccer games that empty out at halftime, if they ever show up. There's no one to blame or nothing to fix as just way to many of them have the attention span of a.........it just is what it is !I will never understand the logic of the on campus stadium, besides the insane disregard for accessibility. If we’re concerned that students are leaving the first second they have the option to (I.e. third quarter buses), why do we think being able to leave at any time will induce more of them to stay? It’s an interest problem guys, not an access problem
Build a high speed rail for CT with a stop at Storrs and East Hartford. While we are at it, connect it to NYC and Boston.Simple solution... put the stadium on Campus. UConn has to decide what is more important, highway access, or the student body.
The Yankee Conference it isHorrible product to watch
I’ve wondered this too. Every power conference has/had a network.
Like I said, just judging based on every other power conference having one. The argument has been made that UConn doesn’t bring the carriage fees for the ACCN. Well, a Big 12 network would certainly help our case, no?Yeah because conference networks have worked out so great for everyone but the Big 10 and SEC.
Carriage is so declining growth.Like I said, just judging based on every other power conference having one. The argument has been made that UConn doesn’t bring the carriage fees for the ACCN. Well, a Big 12 network would certainly help our case, no?

Who starts a business model knowing that your subscriber base is declining. Worst investment ever.
Doesn’t justify startup costs.
These businesses aren’t cash and carry. They have large capital investments they have to show growth over a span of time.
Like, it isn't just, add UConn, get carriage…boom, we make money.
The only reason there is an acc network is it is a pet project of former Espn leader John Skipper. Loved his tar heels, I think he saw growth there when everyone else thought it was meh.
Also, Espn got a little too big for its britches with sec network success they thought they could duplicate it with longhorn and acc network. At end of day, acc network is largely an online entity. That's its future.
Again, you’re missing my point. I simply said if there were a Big 12 network it would improve our changes. That’s literally all I mean.Maybe if we are in the year 2008.
I would think so, but no movement. UConn owns mens and womens hoops right now.Given what's going on with UConn Basketball, I would think ESPN would salivate forcefully over the prospects of UConn/Duke/UNC twice a year. Good lord. And that wouldn't be on the ACCN.

I think we all understand that linear cable channels are in secular decline. In the near future, the conference channels will morph into streaming services or they will be included within streaming packages like ESPN+, Netflix, Prime, Max... Right now, the BTN, SECN, and ACCN have benefitted from conference expansion which has added subscribers and brought more markets under their in-market rate which has allowed their revenues to grow. In each conferences' traditional markets/states, subscribers are declining.Like I said, just judging based on every other power conference having one.

Like we should talk with our schedule … just sayinThey’ve certainly been doing well. But they’ve beaten no one worth a darn.
Bwhahaha. Nice try. AAC is not "Power" anything.Timing is everything. Gotta give the mustangs credit, they did beat ranked Louisville. The rest of the schedule is about as soft an ACC schedule as you could put together.
I'd say Army is the most successful team to transition to the Power 5. Undefeated even.
