Not sure how great that deal is given that GOR runs out a quarter century, but "yeah" to the rest.The ACC isn't shut out of NYC. They have Syracuse. They also just got a great new media deal without UConn. They're not inviting us. They don't need us.

In Cincinnati?Ohio has more F500 companies than CT. Just saying.
To meet Bowlsby or Delany?? Maybe everyone is getting their BiGs mixed up?Greg Flugaur @flugempire 4m4 minutes ago
BTM just texted following: "I will call you tonight. More of the same but further along. Herbst is taking a trip. Tell Pete happy-Bday"
Damn straight this again. Every other candidate is making throwing everything but the kitchen sink out there. We should tout our equivalent (superior) metrics.Oh this again. Starwood falls off the list later this year. Xerox has very few employees in Norwalk. Same with Charter, less than 200. Overall, CT is no longer a real star in the corporate HQ world. And more to the point we don't have great involvement between UConn and these businesses, but I do have confidence Herbst is working on that.
Ohio is a gigantic state with a minor group of people who give two poops about the University of Cincinatti.Ohio has more F500 companies than CT. Just saying.

I think you are under selling us and over selling Cinci, but truth be told, I haven't checked.Sorry, sometimes I think we could all use a little splash of cold water reality. Cincy and UConn are probably on even corporate footing. Okay, I'll stop.
I would argue that Uconn bring CT and that Cincinatti bring Cincinatti. Ohio has 4x the population of CT so I would say its a wash.

Yeah, I'm saying maybe it's not quite a wash.
This whole debate is kinda silly but here's actual numbers.
Connecticut is 5,543 square miles. It has 18 fortune 500 companies.
Cincinnati is 80 square miles. It has 10 fortune 500 companies.
Analyze whatever you want out of that.

Oh god, really - you don't know the difference between MSAs, City Limits and DMAs? I'm going to assume you do ...and lets steer this back to Non Key CRA nonsense.
What about Cincinnati though? I've read enough now about this Cincinatti...
