Totally get that. But “have to cut” and “can cut” have totally different meanings.
a state flagship without football is incredibly small time, especially one like UConn who's trying to position themselves nationally to be a best of the best type of institution. What's sadder is there's fans who want us to be in that position and stuck in that small time conference.
there's a lot of nostalgia buffs who love our current situation due to the conference name, even though the conference is a pale comparison to what it once was.
I'm simply saying the reason UConn has been on board with paying them top dollar, and investing facilities is because they have told the President/Board that it's the only way we get into a P4 conference and solve our AD issues long term. It's less likely that they'd be willing to do it if that is off the table.
Do you think it looks good when a vast majority of our fans are going online and railing against this move? Or when CT senators make statements like Chris Murphy did? None of this helped us, and I do not understand why people deny the reality of our situation. Husky fans foolishly looked a gift horse in the mouth. Enjoy the next couple of years. Once Dan and Geno are gone, we are screwed.
It's only year three and he managed to get us to a bowl in year one. Additionally, last year's record had many games in which we were a score away from winning. if our starting quarterback doesn't get injured maybe that's the difference.
I think the 17 championships are more the reason for that
Only year three, this is the same crazy stuff we heard during Diaco and Edsall 2.0.
We'll always have a reason to do it. We won't always have the money to do it.
Yeah, I wasn't really excited about the Sammis promotion. I'm just not sure how much of that is budget related and how much of that is the notion that we aren't a good job. I suppose either way it could be fixed with money.
Just the fact that you would ask that question makes me realize that you really don't know us at all.
Went two years without a DC and now when we get a DC our answer to replacing the departing OC is to promote the OL coach. Money or not money being the issue, these moves are suck.
Those fans opposed to the move were far from the majority. Also, did it hurt Utah getting a B12 invite when they went on record stating that joining the B12 was the last thing they wanted to do? Or that they're gone the first opportunity they get?
… And Pasqualoni and every bad coaching hire ever. Nothing's going happen until the end of the season, if at all.
Agree, but understanding the why it is necessary to be able to fix it.
This is coming, but probably closer that that 2031 timeline. I doubt more than half the Big XII and ACC schools would be "in" at the higher tier. If we can get football to "not embarrassing" we should land with Syracuse, Pitt, BC and the like, which is fine.
