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

I’m curious, let’s say the state of CT subsidizes the university with about 35-40 mil a year. You get $30 mil from the Big12. Does the state drop the subsidy to 5-10mil or do they keep giving you $40 mil as well? I keep reading on here about all the things you are going to do with this money. Seems to me you have already been getting plenty. Do I have this wrong?

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.

JackMac is trolling but that would be best case scenario for UConn. We’d probably get a nod for the ACC at that point

The ACC will crumble without FSU and Clemson. Don’t want to be on that sinking ship.

when this is all said and done there will be 3 conferences, the SEC, B1G, and B12. If you’re not in one of those conferences, it’s all over.

Oh good. Now we can ask questions. Problem solved.

We have been screwed for the long term from the moment that Louisville went to the ACC instead of us. There is not much more that we can do other than spend money we don't have to try to bring our reputations in football. Yelling at administrators like they can control what other schools think of us won't accomplish anything.

Who is calling for administrators to be yelled at? The President, BOT and the state are the ones that need to ask questions about what exactly we're doing if we are going to be stuck in purgatory for an extended period of time.

We've been stuck in purgatory for an extended period of time. Their asking questions took us out of the AAC and to where we are now.

I doubt it. USF and SMU or Tulane. I'd actually bet on it.
Expand ...
USF for sure. Another AAC pick - not as sure. You figure Tulane doesn’t really do a lot for the Techs, Cuses, etc of the world

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.

Make sure you screenshot it though because if he doesn't backpedal he'll just straight up delete it and claim he never said that

He’s being a man about. Frankly, I really don’t like that we were in, and now we might not be, it isn’t a good vibe. There’s probably a lot of rats looking for life boats.

I believe he heard what he heard as well as what some other UConn donors/those close to the AD have heard.

Hoping it’s a done deal, and the Big 12 leaks are tactic to get both Arizona schools to jump with us being 16 (14 if they don’t).

We shall see. Hopefully it’s resolved this week, but not getting my hopes up too high for that — my guess is in two weeks we’ll know.

It seems almost obvious that we were used as bait.

We need to keep up the progress in football and double down on basketball. The lord helps those who help themselves. I’m not even religious.
