Link?Not a fan of him but...
Not familiar with Jacobs - thanks for the link. Thought the article was a fairly well-balanced presentation of the facts. His sense that much is wrong seems reasonable, but so did his call for patience. UCONN football is a mess, and the program will never be among the ‘Royals’ (his word). However, UCONN can be consistently good, occasionally great, and suffer the same fate all programs suffer…go through a down period. Everyone is depressed. Very bad season. Be patient. Unlike many, you have marketable assets. Things will look much different in the ACC. Boston College cannot stop what the rest of the conference desires (in time).
Where did Jacobs get that deficit number? Is that just football, because there is no way the AD is $19 mil in the red after having two national championship wins in 2014

I see you are new. Welcome..Sorry to disappoint but there is not one shred of evidence to suggest ACC will EVER take UCONNNot familiar with Jacobs - thanks for the link.

Good article.
Not sure that I agree with that Fairfield. I think the fact that we were the preferred choice over Pitt is evidence that ACC would take us on as a conference member. On the other hand, there are zero indicators right now that such a move is likely. Now if ESPN offerred to unilaterally renegotiate the ACC contract yet again and offerred to give a nominal per school increase in payout if we were added, we'd be added. I don't see it happening but I doubt many schools would pass on additional cash to keep us out.I see you are new.

Regarding your point about the ACC you may be correct. However, I think you better hope you are wrong. UCONN is not going to the B1G. Kind of leaves the ACC as your remaining option.
I do not have a source so it would be bad form to pretend I do.Who is your source? I have heard from administrators directly that the B1G is 100% our goal. We are blocked out of the ACC probably forever. We now have to impress the B1G.

I thought Jacobs should have had some answers, or maybe suggestions, as to what can be done. Like have Dick Blumenthal, Chris Murphy and Dannel Malloy march on ESPN's hq and demand justice."UConn was in The Game, the money game, the one that makes the investment worth it. Tell me how that's happening now? Tell me how it's going to happen?"
That's really the basis of this entire board. How are we going to get back in the game?
