It’s funny how some people just see things differently.
Many years ago, there were people that said ‘nobody is ever going to UConn to play basketball.  How will we compete?’

I suppose we could have listened to those people back then.  Thank goodness we didn’t though.
And I hope the university again makes the smart decision to compete at the highest level of athletics and not listen to people afraid of change.

Your arguments are literally made up.  Terms of the deal don’t exist because there isn’t a deal yet.  A) you don’t know what the money situation is.  B) who said we can’t play at the rent? C) football would be given 5 years to beef up the program.  If you remember the plan to join Big East, there was a similar plan to build the roster.  UConn actually joined earlier due to ACC defections.

Let the process work.  If there is a deal that works for both sides, it will work.  UConn isn’t giving away BB, and will work to get best deal possible.
