Next, I believe the new AAC contract with ESPN was the straw that broke the camel's back. Shutting down the SNY contract and then moving all Uconn games, football, a both basketball teams, to pay to view streaming was too much. ESPN has never been a friend or supportor of UConn athletics. Outside of a few seasons under Edsel in his first round as head coach, UConn football has been nothing to brag about. Hathaway and the Rock Star did nothing to improve it. Pasqualoni was a disaster as was Diaco. Now 2 years with Edsel and we have 8 consecutive loosing seasons. Is this move going to work out in the long run, who knows. At least UConn is being proactive and doing what it feels is in its best interests. The state is in massive debt and the athletic program is running in the red. Something had to be done. Now if we can keep the damn politicians out of this move we might survive. Finally, UConn is not going to get a P5 bid. You can thank BC, Pitt, Miami, Syracuse and partially ND for that. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
