I still don't understand why we're wasting money on soccer, baseball and softball. If the SEC wanted us then baseball makes sense. Otherwise it's just a waste of money.

Huh? We have the best baseball program in the northeast and play in a great baseball conference?

Because we (our leadership, many fans) do not care about the P5...

But nobody cares. It's a waste of money. It doesn't move the needle for realignment unless you're looking at the SEC

Why do we need another husky insider podcast when we have many on this board that claim insider information?

 

[Pudge]

When I went to UConn, Mens Soccer was the only sport we would attend regularly ... and go to away matches. They let us bring Kegs into the games.

UConn Men's Soccer could be a dominant Northeast program and a regular contender for NC. That is what you play these games for. We aren't SEC. Hockey matters. Etc Etc

Probably not the worst idea if we're relegated to the G5 for eternity. We should cut some sports.

Cutting sports won't get us into the P5

 

[JMick]

Cutting sports won't get us into the P5

No it won't. But we're probably not getting in so we might as well save some money.

I am okay with that.

Yeah. Completely dumb.

 

[BlueMAB]

No it won't. But we're probably not getting in so we might as well save some money.

If saving money is your main concern, there's only one sport to cut. There's no need to cut a bunch of sports.

 

[BlueMAB]

I am okay with that.

Fortunately you aren't running the school.

 

[Adios]

No it won't. But we're probably not getting in so we might as well save some money.

Uh, we probably are getting in. You should go cheer for Idaho.
