Mora says we need 1.5 Mill to compete. Very commendable donation on your part. I wish I had that kind of expendable ching to do the same. I make seat donations but that is my financial limit.
Ditto above.
Thank you for supporting the team.
That my boy, is called NIT 2.0.
You go man!We've got something in the works. I'm talking with them early next week.
Worth noting: we tried to collect money for them in April and the response was underwhelming. Something like $4k, and $1k of that was mine.

As it’s a non profit I’m assuming it also qualifies for company matches if our employer does them? Yes it does
I think the issue is much more front and center, and I’d like to see this group make a small contribution to a big problem. Like I said, I’m good for $500. Couple of others have said they would put in $500.We've got something in the works. I'm talking with them early next week.

Well, based on the upcoming meetings in NYC I'm hearing about, led by a deep pocketed UConn "booster", that's about to change. But Texas A&M just paid a coach $75 million not to. They also pledged $300,000 to get a New England area HS QB to commit. If Mora said we only need $1.5M to compete, he's kidding himself. The oldest adage in business is you get what you pay for.

They all leveraged what they did here to make money or more money and whether you like it or not or agree with it or not a lot of those chunk plays by the RBs or Turner's career year at slot are on tape and under Charlton's offense. And I'm not a big fan of Charlton. The two RBs this year left early and redshirted simply to maximize their monetary benefit.
Could very well go that way. Should go that way. Programs like Kansas for example. It is not a good football program despite all the benefits of playing in a power conference with Texas and Oklahoma. You almost have to make it your mission to be bad at football given the setup. Now Kansas isn't even in the P2. I doubt their donors will want to fund NIL when they don't care about football in the first place.
Happy Thanksgiving! I don’t think this will happen. The football program clearly has bigger issues, including the expense to field a competitive team. I think UConn ends up in a regional football conference. The members of the conference will be dependent on the fate of the ACC. Since it’s proven that UConn can compete successfully in both men’s and women’s basketball, those teams will find a lifeline with a major conference.
Most of the NIL collectives are offshoots of the booster clubs as they have the business leadership, organization, and fund raising capabilities that NIL collectives need. Somebody has to organize an NIL collective and to my knowledge UConn has 2: The D'Amelio Collective set up by D'Amelio and Bleeding Blue for Good helped set up by UConn. UConn didn't have a booster club in which members could set up a collective.
I would love to know 1. How you think partially blaming a coach for a 2-3 win season his second year is cheap and 2. Who exactly you place the blame on.
Put up or shut up.
Is the BY your “date” today?
Well that's a fair take on the $ for em' and "3" RB's overall. Besides the fact that Carter, Brewton then Houston might want to be able to walk after there college careers are over. Seeing that his offense and his rugby scrum formations gave them no room in space and kept slamming them all into his 7 OL/TE piles until they were all injured, multiply times. (Victor too). The WR's too had to love playing in Charlton's well conceived offense...
where they're mostly used as blocking dummies and he had to lead the nation in passes thrown behind the line of scrimmage for little or no gain, SMH!
Like we’ll have a choice? If the P4 decides to go their own way… you’ll think we’re special enough to go too?
The ESPN tax breaks were for jobs in CT. Just like they gave to other companies.
Mora is both right and wrong IMO
The money would be better spent on UConn. ESPN has enough money to pay their employees
I don't necessarily agree with the tax breaks and yes espn has enough money to pay its employees. The key is to keep paying those employees in Connecticut.
I don't know this stuff but it would seem we need one collective and I checked out Bleeding Blue. It seems to have the right partners. Any collective named after a single donor, "dameliohuskies.com," yeah, I'd have my doubts. This is something they really need to promote and clarify if they are going to be successful at it.
This is correct. UConn collectives use local businesses for these payouts. namely Jefferson Fry Co. and Gansett Wraps.
UConn has never been competitive in football so why should it bother anyone now? It’s a $30M a year sink hole with no hope in sight. All this talk about raising money so the program can improve is delusional.
I was a huge and to some extent still am a Mora man but we are starting to see the true colors of the man- the excuses are starting to flow.
