Message: [QUOTE="KingLurk, post: 4468629, member: 11661"] This original post and thread is a great read. Whether or not a certain prediction is right or wrong really isn't the main thing. The issue here is that everything is going to change. Most importantly, how has our athletic department started to adjust. Where we are trending well: Athletic Scheduling. (non conference games are key in football, baseball, it swings more toward winning in hockey, basketball, etc. Depends on sport). Working Transfer pool (not just football, but basketball, baseball, etc.) Branding. (Huge uptick in quality this year). Where we need work in some sports but seem to be starting well: TV Contract - we have a good start, need to keep it up. Working on NIL. (Always room for everyone to work on this - like how it's starting though) Where there are concerns Rivalry/Identity. (Football team doesn't have a main rival, basketball has rivals from old big east we don't play) Conference alignment: Great in basketball, our hockey conference is great, after that a bit of a drop off (we need to improve soccer and that will be a fine conference as we regrow. I think UConn is already looking ahead at possible football options which may not even interfere with basketball). [/QUOTE]
