Message: [QUOTE="Drew, post: 2504741, member: 3723"] This is a ridiculous thing to say and you know it. The football team was a financial boon and was majorly successful for the first ~10 years at the FBS level. What exactly is UConn hoops right now? The team is 7-7 and hasn't won a game in the American yet. The basketball program fired an assistant coach last year who's only opportunity following the firing was to be a consultant for a Division 3 program that doesn't exist yet. Ticket revenues are dropping because the team sucks something fierce, is being coached by a glorified AAU basketball coach, and plays in two decrepit buildings that are falling apart at every seam. Paying $10mm+ to leave the current conference so we can play Creighton DePaul Marquette and Butler twice a year in basketball doesn't solve any of the issues above. [/QUOTE]
