Who says we don't bring similar value?

[URL='http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2014/01/how_much_do_colleges_get_for_s.html']So does Nike[/URL].  I highly doubt that Duke's value for similar deals significantly trumps/trumped our own, if it even does.  These were both signed around 2010-2011 when UConn was standing on the deck of a sinking Titanic Big East conference with no more lifeboats left.

All of these Twitter people that continue to harp on "UConn brings no value" are dead wrong and speaking out of their "old money" arses.  For FTT, his highest criteria seems to be whether or not a school played football in 1880.  The Dude's highest criteria is football wins in a particular season.  We were making every bit as much as some of the P5 schools while we were a member of the BCS elite class.   I'm sure our school's leadership has been selling this and if they aren't, we need new leadership.  UConn is every bit as valuable as over half of the P5 grandfathered schools.  There is absolutely zero doubt about that.
