Message: [QUOTE="BPT2Storrs, post: 3700245, member: 7746"] Connecticut = Shortsightedness. The State requires UConn to play in Hartford to prop up the city. At the very same time, UConn Basketball loses out on having a dedicated home that is so prevalent in college athletics. A program as big as ours and as successful as ours should have a dedicated and upgraded facility. For decades our state has failed to invest in our cities and they use UConn to keep one of those cities afloat, not understanding that maybe if they had invested the correct way they wouldn’t need UConn to play at the XL. If that had happened maybe the state would be able to shift some resources to the flagship university to make the necessary improvements to build up our only true college town, instead of applying band aid fixes to our cities and the facilities (XL) located in those cities.
