Re: NCAA / Realignment Discussion (Part V)
Yesterday at 10:26 PM
Some high level donors got to watch UConn football spring practice today with the president and some other key names. At the lunch one of the things talked about was the AAU progress the school is making. The president attended a AAU meeting in late Janurary. She said its expected that she will be in attendance for another meeting in May where budget stuff for 2017 is discussed by the organization. Seemed like she was very happy where UCONN was positioning itself. She was asked if other presidents of non AAU schools were allowed to attend and she replied by saying that all members of The Ivy League were represented and that another school from the "northeast corridor" was also represented.
Other things talked about were basic school matters and the re rise of football getting back to mid 2000s status and then getting to the next level from there on the field. The interim AD who works with the president hinted at their being a reason the season tickets last year and this year are 1 year plans and not 3 like the past decade before that. Seems they are gearing up for something and want to hit it hard when it happens football wise.
On another front, hockey, it seems the plan now is to possibly knock down the old high school which is in a great location for UCONN and build a 5k hockey barn in that spot around 2018. They will apply for a Wagner form Hockey East to extend its time in the XL until then.
