Apologies to Used Car salesmen on the board, but he's got the look down. Spiked hair, busy jacket, black mock turtleneck. Look like a gray haired William H. Macy

I don't think anyone is sure what happens to the state subsidies if and when the P5 money kicks in, so a reasonable question. If we keep all or some of it great, but we've been successful at the $35-40 million level so it seems the subsidy wouldn't be absolutely necessary.

Berry is his middle name. First name is actually Dingle. His parents knew.

I would imagine they wouldn't subsidize the same amount every year, but would continue to for certain projects like stadium upgrades that are being fought pretty hard right now to fund.

LOL! Almost the exact presentation to what I wrote 30 minutes ago in Key Tweets thread;

Great minds think alike!

Low hanging fruit for guys like us!

There will still be a deficit because of increased support but should be less than it is currently.

The subsidy really comes from the student body. They pay it, whether they know that or not. Just like they pay for the super fancy gym UConn built.

It remains to be seen if UConn will reduce those fees but my guess is no, they’ll use the money to update Gampel and the Rent.

Subsidy really comes from the state. Fees intuition only constitute about 41% of the University's annual revenues. The state pumps about $329 million a year into the University. That is an excellent investment since Connecticut returns about $5.3 billion to the state annually.

Glad he gave an exact date. Now when Wednesday hits and there’s no announcement swaim will make some excuse. If by some chance he’s correct then at least it’s over in 48 hours.

People under estimate the money printing machine that a pact football stadium is.

Tuesday is August 1st. That is what Swaim is saying.
Who knows if there is a deadline.

This. It’s all crap thrown against the wall to see if it sticks.

If I had to guess, the plan would be to taper it down. You hope that revenue increases over time so you can have the athletic department be self sustaining. It won't fully happen, of course, because it doesn't work like that for 95% of schools.

I think we're in at 16 but probably not 14.

If we aren't in at 16 then what are we even doing? It basically cements our status as a G5 program and real questions need to start being asked.

Nah. Armageddon is coming for remaining PAC and ACC schools. We would probably join them in an East/West conference in due time.
