Message: [QUOTE="JohnFSilver, post: 4049318, member: 1618"] The shut it down people are not rationale. You don't take wins or losses and decide to shut it down. You can make a monetary case to shutter football, but there is no monetary case for FCS. So it becomes football vs. no football. At UConn's size, school profile and success as an athletic department there is no peer in the united states that doesn't have football. It really is a non-starter. UConn can decide to go cheap, cut costs, limit budgets, go cheap on coaches...all rationale moves. But the kill FB crowd doesn't seem to understand the landscape of college sports and just doesn't like football. It is an odd mix in Connecticut. People like their basketball so much they feel threatened by the football program. I think that is not just fans, but also administrators at the university over the years. [/QUOTE]
