It’s sucks hearing the Big XII directors’ reasoning but to play devils advocate, it does LOOK like UConn doesn’t care about football to SOME degree. We are 1 of maybe 3-4 schools that has their stadium off campus. And it’s not really even that close, it’s 25 miles away. And then that stadium is only 38,000? I get that it’s expandable but it would be by far the smallest in the conference. So while we in Connecticut may understand that the decision to not build a stadium in Storrs was due to logistics, that probably isn’t a satisfactory answer to every other team in the conference who managed to do it. Additionally, what they’re saying about the deficit isn’t that we spend too much money it’s that we run the department poorly. How many times have we bitched about how the state screws us with the XL contract? Or the Rent? Or how the new hockey barn is half the size it should be? It’s not like we’re oblivious to these things either. Not saying I agree with them that we shouldn’t be invited, just that it is understandable to an extent.
