With countless posts about what we are doing, or what we should be doing, I am surprised that Uconn has not hired some sort of consultant (McKinsey or other) to help position and market the school to ACC and B1G.
We know that Delaney does his work, but all the phone calls and networking that hopefully Susan and Warde are doing should be complemented by a presentation (not a brochure with pretty pictures) that highlights all the positives and even the negatives of Uconn. From stength of athletics, academics, investments, fan base, TV ratings, subscribers, stadium, etc.
We all know what is at stake here, and having spent years in consulting, I can attest to not only how persuasive this can be, but how it will demonstrate our value and our seriousness. It will position the discussion hopefully on the critical issues that the ACC and B1G care most about. Now perhaps I am naive and these decisions are made in a more political fashion, but this document could be a strong weapon to ensure the future of our athletic program!
