Message: [QUOTE="CardiffGiant, post: 1712420, member: 7178"] I would love to believe that the State of Conn could strong arm ESPN, but with the way it is financially in this state, there is no leverage whatsoever to get ESPN to do anything. Connecticut simply cannot afford to have another big employer walk, and how can the state ask ESPN to exercise any real influence when it is common knowledge that they are losing subscribers at a scary pace? At this point, the best course is the one being pursued by Uconn right now-- worry about what you want to be as an University and do what is necessary to improve;when potential opportunities arise pursue them aggressively and quietly and keep moving forward, regardless of whether those opportunities come to fruition.
