I fully expected that to be the answer.  I hate when people use the cryptic phrase "Connecticut doesn't invest in football" when what they mean to say is "Connecticut needs to pay its coaches more."  The notion that we "haven't invested" in football is B[SIZE=1][COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)]u[/COLOR][/SIZE]S.

We have outstanding facilities between Burton and Shenkman.  The Rent, though 30 minutes too far west, is a nice facility as well, with great sightlines and outstanding tailgating.  We've invested plenty in football.

But what we've also done is made some catastrophically bad coaching hires. All of them had some logic to them, but all ended up being horrific.  Hopefully, we finally corrected that with Jim Mora, a former NFL and power conference school coach.

When we go out there and suggest that we "haven't invested in football" the rest of college football perceives that as a facilities issue.  That's not correct and it hurts our perception as a team that's ready to step up to the P4.
