Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 1128985, member: 2141"] For a 2017 TV contract, I believe initial discussions would begin in late 2015 early 2016. While the quality of UConn's on field product with respect to football is sub-par right now, UConn's facilities are already at the P5 level for the most part with a few exceptions - soccer (already partially paid for and now in the design phase), on campus hockey (in the short-term plan and with a few more wins against BC and a few less losses to Sacred Heart, donors will help with that), and baseball/softball (in the long-term plan). Gampel needs a rehab (or replacement, which is also in the long-term plan, and the football stadium needs to be enlarged (practice facility is top notch); but should not be a short-term deal breaker. I would be more concerned about AAU status and the size of the endowment. [/QUOTE]
