Message: [QUOTE="Dooley, post: 1632109, member: 2920"] You and I can sit down at a future tailgate and talk this out if you want. But to quickly summarize my opinion: don't you think Benedict was brought in to help [I]encourage[/I] engagement...not destroy it? Among other impressive highlights, his resume included 3 things that are important to UConn: fundraising for a stadium expansion, apparel/media contract negotiations, and gameday atmosphere/engagement. I highly doubt Benedict would take this job if Herbst told him "eh, give it a week and if we aren't invited anywhere, we're dropping football". I also don't think UConn would have opted to take LAND (not money) in the new PAWSARF stadium re-naming deal if it didn't feel strongly that a stadium expansion wasn't on the horizon in the near future.
