Message: [QUOTE="whaler11, post: 2265252, member: 676"] Here is what Mike Aresco has delivered UConn: 1. Recruited programs that increase the mouths to feed and don't bring any local or national revenue to the the league. They dilute the schedule and provide zero interest in their market, our market or nationally. 2. Oversaw the organization that ran the AAC tournament so poorly in Hartford that AA baseball attendance dwarfs it. The AAC tournament has been here twice and they seemingly learned nothing from the first time. I know few of you bothered to attend but if you had you'd understand it was amateur hour. 3. Negotiated a TV contract that pays the AAC half what the Big East basketball league gets paid even with 'P6' football. Seton Hall's basketball program alone generates twice the TV money of UConn's basketball and football programs. UConn gets half as much TV money as Seton Hall while supporting FBS football which costs tens of millions of dollars to operate. 4. A league which provides it's tier 3 rights to ESPN for nothing. His deals favor the loser programs which generate no interest or revenue and allow UConn to underwrite their ineptitude. Mike Aresco has done NOTHING as AAC commissioner for UConn, but I'm the jerk for pointing this out. You've got a terrible leader who bleeds you dry to the benefit of Tulane, Tulsa and East Carolina - but they do it for a living. While they sit around snapping towels over their lame hashtags, UConn continues their slide into oblivion but let's not say anything bad about Mike Aresco. He certainly has done well for this school and fanbase. [/QUOTE]
