Mike Anthony: It’s time for David Benedict to handle the football problems that UConn’s Big East move creates.

Benedict's resume:2019: Killed UConn football

He actually might have saved it. Stay tuned.

Not only that, this might end up being a genius move, as much as I hate to admit it.

Fox is creating a narrative that they think we're the best of the G5, by far.

not a benedict guy but warde manuel is 20x more guilty of that crime.

This is all 100 percent on Sue. At the most crucial time ever she had Paul, "the Tectonic plates are moving too fast", Pendergast in there.

Too say we were blindsided when that happened is an understatement.

That is the plan. But it comes with a cost. The AAC for all its faults was the only place UConn football could grow into a respectable major program. It could within the context of the plan become a respectable program at the FCS level. So the plan is to deliberately sacrifice the football program in order to protect the interests of the MBB program. This was done with forethought and intent. UConn has deliberately chosen to not compete at a major level in football ever again. There is no longer any FBS future for UConn. Independence is a lie people tell themselves to avoid admitting the obvious.

It remains to be seen whether this is a good bet. It depends entirely - entirely - on the long term prospects of the NBE. The administration might not think it had a better option. But it should at least be honest about what it has done.

I tend to agree. The g-5 portion of FBS is a sham. 20 million $ ad's competing with 200M AD's. No path to the NC. Might as well just be real.

You thinking Patriot or Colonial?

>>As much as Benedict is probably loving being the guy who got UConn back into the Big East, he doesn’t want to be the athletic director who presided over UConn football’s demise.<<

It’s time for the guy who backed his truck over UConn football to come out and give it mouth to mouth.

And the way they frame it... How they’ll overcome all of the extra added fees and income disparities with an influx of donations that haven’t been there before, sounds so foggy...

It reminds me of people who sign pledges to their churches at the beginning of every year. Somehow the churches never seem to receive the entire amount pledged.

Talk to a scientologist. Catholics are doing it wrong.
