Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield 1st, post: 815107, member: 3429"] The'...I think this tweet was born out in the newest thread posted this morning re: the NCAA's plan. I am concerned for no other reason that CR has never benefited UCONN and we are always on outside looking in. The challenge for us is that over the long term we will not be able to financially sustain the commitment assuming current revenues deriving from our AAC affiliation stay the same. (after of course the funds from Big East collapse are doled out).. over time UCONN will only be able to sustain this level of financial commitment with substantial state aid. I do not think our legislature will write open-ended checks to subsidize the athletic dept long term. Admittedly, these are long range concerns, but if this new governance structure does not trigger more realignment resulting in UCONN in BiG or ACC, we really are in for a long, slow decline. [/QUOTE]
