Anyone else calling in sick tomorrow?
Nope, BYU just tried to draw some comparison with Yale. The Elis opted not to be apply. I jest on the latter, not the former.Thank you. This graphic is nice (and cruelly inspiring), but... UConn's logo is in the wrong spot. I'm wondering if this graphic originally had a different school on the far right. Possibly one with a "Y" for a logo (which would also be wrong, but an understandable error)?
UConn should focus its presentation on three things.
If UConn is not selected it will be because of geography and culture, so these are the issues that should be addressed.
- Who would the B12 schools consider as their peer. Does Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas etc, consider Houston, Cincinnati or Connecticut, as an athletic and academic peer?
- Geography is a two edged sword. UConn must show that the main reason to want UConn is exactly because of its geography. Emphasize all the positives of being in the NYC DMA and what the B12 schools can gain, and no other candidate can offer.
- Our top notch athletics and academics, which the B12 is probably aware of, but should be reminded in a friendly sort of way.
If you can create PowerPoint slides, welcome to the team.
Maybe we can just bring the Rutgers AD with us and have him explain how UConn has made $Billions for other teams within their conference? that should help?
I'm glad Benedict is here now and not Warde. I don't trust Manuel could adequately communicate any of this well.
Benedict can sell ice in the winter and fire in hell. He's a hustler, he can sell water to a well.
Nope. Rutgers has the astounding ability to screw up all they touch. Thanks but no thanks Snooki.Maybe we can just bring the Rutgers AD with us and have him explain how UConn has made $Billions for other teams within their conference? that should help?
Has there been any leaked reports of other presentations?
"Uh, because they don't think you are worth the $25 million they'd have to pay you if were in the Big 12?""Ask yourselves this question gentlemen. Why do you think one of your major broadcast partners is desperate to keep us in the AAC?"
"Uh, because they don't think you are worth the $25 million they'd have to pay you if were in the Big 12?"
Never ask open ended questions.
Has there been any leaked reports of other presentations?
I would've agreed in July but the Big 12 has made everything public even when they said they wouldn't make it public. I can see them cutting the list to 4-6 and then doing one more dog and pony show by late September/early October.I still don't think the presentations matter. All of this will be decided offline.
