Message: [QUOTE="Fatroony5, post: 3570877, member: 10323"] What? UConn fans would welcome a P5 invite but that ship has sailed. I don’t get why people are still clinging to that pipe dream. I mean yes it could happen, but it’s even more likely the conferences eventually break away from the NCAA. That seems to be the more likely scenario. the football team is bleeding money, there’s no way to sugar coat that. It’s one thing if they’re consistently winning and losing money as a state university, you can justify that cost as a form of entertainment, branding for the state, whatever you wanna label it. That would bring a certain value and is worth the cost. But they’re not, they’re bleeding money and they’re losing a ton of games and are not currently competitive. In the past decade they went 30-79 and are 6-30 under Edsall 2.0. They can’t currently justify the costs, it’s brutal, call it what it is. So they either need to get to a place of justifying their budget losses (more winning) or break even budget wise while being terrible. No ones saying they’re actually gonna cut football, but if we’re having this same convo in 4 years as an independent and noP5 deal is imminent, thenyeah, they’ll be revisiting the program. [/QUOTE]
