Do you not understand there isn't a football stadium in Storrs? Rendering any opportunity cost of playing all athletic competitions in Storrs moot? For the 10th time even in this fantasy land scenario, you/him only cite revenue. Certainly if you double the games played on campus, or ya know, have to finance a 40,000 seat stadium there would be some expense, no?

I'm going to ask two more questions (which if you want to reply to, go ahead, if not so be it) and you can have the final word.

1. Is an estimate about the Storrs/Hartford split a bit disingenuous because there isn't the infrastructure or stadium built to accommodate football?

2. Even if you believe his $7.5M in lost revenue number, why isn't there an expense component acknowledged? Clearly they have data on that because they don't pass up the opportunity to say it cost $4M to play games in Hartford.

And I've never alleged Bennedict is lying. He's telling them about the side of the coin that is advantageous to the media so he can attempt to negotiate a more favorable deal from the state with respect to games played off campus.
