Susan, Let's Open up a Dialogue Thursday

[WestHartHusk]

Since you appear to be hostage regarding CR talk I figured I would give you some code words that your captor won't recognize, but will communicate meaning to your stressed out fan-base. So:

• If we are B1G bound please note that UConn's investment in STEM is "Among the B1Ggest in the nation"

• If we have been assured of a safe landing spot in a Top 5 conference please describe our plans to grown Storrs enrollment by 1/3 as "game-changing."

• If we don't have assurances but you have been told by media consultants we will be safe within 2 years please describe the Stamford expansion as "forward-looking and prepatory"

• And if we are totally screwed, please describe the Jackson labs partnership as "preparation for a new future."

Thank you from all of us in the Boneyard - we will be watching your speech carefully.

If you have a B1G invite in hand but are waiting until after the NCAAs to announce, please let out a puff of white smoke from your office just before the speech.
