Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 4990271, member: 2844"] Basketball is a great spectator sport and very important at UConn but simply doesn't generate top money. UConn screwed up years ago when they were in the AAC, a decent football conference, and kept hiring the inept football HCs that created the post OBE UConn football collapse. Drop football and UConn looks like a huge Gtown/Seton Hall/PC. No thanks. The SEC, B1G and NIL is ruining amateur college sports. Not only do the athletes get a free education but ridiculous money for NIL. Take the cost of education out of the NIL - they are earning an income so they should be paying for a product/service - like the rest of us. Receiving student loans on top of that and who pays for that when idiots decide its a good thing to forgive the balances? Work/study programs - are they still around? The folks in charge of the NCAA, the university presidents and decision makers are all a reflection of the philosophies that are chewing up everything in this country. Simply dropping sports besides basketball is not the answer. Baseball, soccer, field hockey, polo, ice hockey, track and field and yes, even football have experienced success at UConn and have been full of 4 year dedicated student athletes. [B][I]State income tax $10/year surcharge for each of the state’s 2 million taxpayers.[/I][/B] Sounds simple and easy. $10 here $10 there - yeah we don't pay enough in this state. It's not the amount, it's the principle. Once a tax like this is shoveled at the people the bigger the shovel becomes for those in the state legislature. [/QUOTE]
