Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 1804563, member: 2141"] If a donor is the #1 priority for the XII, then why was Memphis dropped? Excluding Texas and Oklahoma, which are at a different level, UConn does not need a donor to get to XII football level. UConn's practice faculties are top notch. The football stadium is new and holds 40,000 and expandable to 50K, which is similar to UCF (45,000), Cincy (40,000), Colorado St (41,000), Huston (40,000). I did not include USF as they use a NFL stadium. BYU holds 63,000. In the current XII, SMU is at 45K, Kansas, K State and Balyor are around 50,000, OK St, WVU, Iowa St & Texas Tech are all around 60K, OU is at 84K and Texas is a small city at 100K. TV potential, football product, overall facilities, basketball, academics, etc. should be important variable, a donor should not be. [/QUOTE]
