Glad I am done. It was fun paying for 2 at once for 6 years. My advice never, never have 3 children each being 2 years apart. That said a co-worker had triplets recently graduate from college, all in different schools.

Drew - look at it this way: the tuition hike is your graduating class' penalty for allowing the CR mess to happen on your watch. When we all graduated, UCONN was in a BCS conference and making a fair amount of TV money.

I jest of course. This is simply part of the faculty expansion plan which will eventually lead to more students, then more graduates, then more donations to lift the endowment. All part of the B1G plan, my friend.

So all scholarship players at Uconn just got a 6.5% raise. Better than a cost of living raise.

I'm from the Yankee Conference generation ... what do we get for uplifting our Athletic Department to World Class?

Talk up how nice the branch campus' are them send them to work 20 hours a week.

Remind them as much as possible that UCONN not all that long ago was a "suitcase school".

Reassure them they will never, ever have to experience the indignity of having their graduation day at the Fieldhouse.

Finally, say with all confidence that South campus will most likely NOT be condemned during their stay.
