Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4843797, member: 44"] You realize that another option exists, right? The other option is we could play football in the Rent but not get charged the ridiculous rates we do by the CDRA. The CDRA always runs a multimillion dollar loss, which is ultimately picked up by the state. It runs that loss despite the fact that the university of Connecticut pays it above market lease rates for men's basketball, women's basketball, hockey, and football. Essentially, the CDRA is offloading some of its ineptitude to the UConn athletic department's balance sheet. It makes far more sense, in my opinion, to eliminate the excessive lease rates to the university so that all of the CDRA's financial and aptitude is reflected on its own balance sheet and the athletic department's balance sheet shows a more realistic picture of its profitability. that would allow our finances to be viewed on an apples to apples basis with virtually every other major university in the country. As I've noted repeatedly in this thread the only one who is talking about the "we have to build a football stadium in Storrs" is you. It is a strawman argument that you've locked onto, apparently, at least subliminally, you recognize that there is no way to justify paying the salaries of a bunch of inept bureaucrats who have never been able to run a single thing at a profit. I hope that helped. [/QUOTE]
