Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 4668047, member: 549"] -> Yormark does appear to be a big proponent of Connecticut, but some Big 12 decision-makers are skeptical. They acknowledge the basketball brand but point out that UConn has not invested heavily in football. The Huskies play on state-owned Rentschler Field, a 38,000-seat stadium that opened in 2003 and is in East Hartford, 25 miles from the Storrs campus. And UConn athletics get a big subsidy from the university. “All it takes is one president to cut that,” said one Big 12 source. “I just don’t see it.” <- This could be resolved w/ one face to face conversation w/ State/University leadership or one well placed Op-Ed. Tramel is no UConn fan from way back… [/QUOTE]
