Message: [QUOTE="Kolumbo, post: 5067169, member: 4613"] I am relying on the small group of people who are in the know: athletic directors, commissioners, presidents and coaches to make the right decisions. People on social media don't matter because most of them have no clue. It's not like the in-crowd mulls this over once a year. They live and breath this stuff everyday. They probably talk to each other weekly and know exactly what the other party wants and needs. At least that is my hope and I am sticking to it. This is not meant to be a political comment because it doesn't matter whether the folks in charge are blue red or purple. Our Governor Ned Lamont is fully on board with moving to a power conference. He gets it. His quotes: "Obviously there is an enormous realignment of these leagues and you don't want to be left behind," Lamont said. "I understand where they are coming from there. TV revenues are important as well. I think I'm going to rely upon Dave (Benedict) to do the right thing." Upgrading and Investing in Football: "Yeah, why not?" he said. "Think of what the energy that would be. Look, we’ve got a great coach there. I expect big things from the team this year and they expect big things from themselves." That's our Governor speaking. Then you have an ass-clown like Chris Murphy down in DC publicly stating we should stay in the Big East. A complete idiot contradicting our governor. Whether you like him or loathe him, he needs to shut up about things he doesn't understand. Geez UConn has enough of an uphill battle when it comes to CR without these knuckleheads trying to sabotage our plans. [/QUOTE]
