Message: [QUOTE="Dooley, post: 1129186, member: 2920"] AAU. Endowment. Improve football. Endowment just needs time (and generous donors). Donations are at all-time high levels and it appears President Herbst has the right people in place to schmooze the deep pocketed folks. $1.5B to UCONN to expand research is more important to UCONN's B1G hopes than our football record. And with our generous Governor re-elected, UCONN knows it has an ally in order to get any sort of "final push" funding approved. Ironically enough, football is the one I'm least worried about. Sports are cyclical, I say it all the time. We would deliver TV sets and an [URL='http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/11/0...ca-where-college-football-means-the-most.html']avid fanbase[/URL] to watch all content, not just football. You put a B1G schedule on UCONN's season ticket package and football would explode around here...much like it has down in NJ and MD. [/QUOTE]
