It’ll get there… give it time.

Starting for UConn @ the Chin Diesel QB position…

I'm the idea, not the bag man. I do the analysis and requirements leg work. Need someone else to work funding.

Endow the position, not the player. Have a donor who strokes a check for X amount of dollars and that money goes to the starting QB.
LOLOL

first you had endowed professorships (John Doe professor of astronomy)
then endowed coaching positions (John Doe head coach of football)
now.... the Burton Family Quarterback.

the concept is sick and i never thought of that. remove the risk of over-investing in a dud who just looks good in his official visit photoshoot.

But my gut tells me that will never happen prior to the blowup of FBS and the institution of a new league with a commish who governs those details and levels the playing field for all members of that new league.

Can we just blow up college football. To save all other sports the Top 40 teams which most are already in the P2 should form their own league for football. Only schools that have resources (average attendance of 90K plus, devoted fans that tailgate for days, boosters willing to pay, etc.) can compete for a National Championship. This league can emulate the NFL which has 32 teams. Then the rest of the schools who still want to play FBS football can go back to playing regional competitive games. Just imagine Northeast with UConn, BC, Syracuse, Rutgers, Buffalo, Temple, Duke, UVA, Wake Forest, and UMass in the same conference. This would allow this second rung teams the ability to play for a football national championship that will never occur on the highest level. No changes need to be made for basketball since being competitive in basketball is way less costly than football.

I should add that most of the teams in ACC will not be part of the FBS power league in football. There are 133 FBS teams so if only 40 teams in the power league you have second and perhaps Tier 2 and 3 of 93 teams. UConn can then dedicate their resources into MBB and WBB, and collect enough from football to make playing football cost neutral.

Soon buddy!! when this idiotic school puts us in a conference where we can compete
It's the school's fault that we aren't in a football conference?
