Will they sit there if the traffic delays aren't endless? Just wondering.
Explains why he’s equivocating.
We are at the “ where UConn cant do what is financially in their best interest portion of the expansion talk”

Nor should they. UConn can build its stadium, the university and AD department can take the debt. But, it isn’t gonna be run outside of the University.
Don't know what Lamont is saying here, but this is absolutely untrue. Storrs campus does not have anywhere near one of the biggest grants per capita.
Right now we are beating up on the Lilliputians once the conference basketball season starts. And as I have said for years, our peers are not mid-size private religiously affiliated schools urban schools. We are a major public university with significant Doctoral programs in many fields, a medical school, a law school, a business school where they do actual research, not just hand out MBAs and pocket the cash from local employers. We are trying to do what 45 of our peers are doing. But we should be happy being the bengal tiger in the house at cage.
Because UConn basketball is special
I just hope the people making the decisions for UConn don’t throw a way what we have with our basketballForde-Yard Dash: Do Not Move to the Big 12, UConn. It’s a Trap.

I truly believe big media outlets and journalists just want basketball schools to "stay in their lane" and not make noise. As many have pointed out, no school has ever been invited to a power conference for their performances in sports aside football.
It could very well be a no, but where have you heard that they’re voting this on Friday because I have not seen anything to that point
It’s a good thing we aren’t competing with OSU or trying to be OSU. We are trying to survive and stay relevant. No one‘s gonna want to see what our revenue is going to be if we don’t make it into the big 12 and the ACC gets poached. What’s left will be G5 money
That point has been addressed many times. Being in the strongest conference in the country for men's hoops and a significant upgrade for women's is not a step backwards. Doing nothing is the only thing that guarantees we fall behind in all sports. The timing is unclear, but the lack of revenue and the fact we have no leverage as an outsider is very clear. So we aren't "throwing away" anything. We are adjusting to the landscape and preparing for the future.
If he's talking just about athletics we do. But overall he's way off.
Plus the Big 12 Conference must be paying beaucoup bucks to Endeavor and Endeavor is in favor of it. Listen to Endeavor, Presidents, you are paying for their advice!
I agree. But I'm pretty sure that all of the on-campus stadium proponents here are expecting the state to pick the tab, or at least most of it.
Why is this guy commenting to reporters on UConn? He has nothing to do with UConn. Some people just don’t know when to stay in their lane.
