What is the plan with the Athletic Department?

Yes, the basketball is much worse than the football. But please remember, UConn, Cinci and USF are sitting on some 60-70 million in exit fees, plus an even larger number than that in NCAA credits. We still have money coming in from our marketing deal as well. So we have enough money to continue to run the department as it has been for a good 4-5 years or so. After that, if we haven't moved, it will be difficult.

That money buys us a few years, that is all . . .

If we need more than that, the glory days are over.

Yep.

Well, one day we decided to shut it down, but then the next we vaulted up to #4 on the B1G's wish list....but then the next day we should shut it down...then the next day we vaulted up to #4 on the B1G's wish list....but then the next we vaulted up to #4 on the B1G's wish list....but then the next day we should shut it down...then the next day we vaulted up to #4 on the B1G's wish list....but then the next we vaulted up to #4 on the B1G's wish list....but then the next day we should shut it down...then the next day we vaulted up to #4 on the B1G's wish list....but then the next we vaulted up to #4 on the B1G's wish list....but then the next day we should shut it down...then the next day we vaulted up to #4 on the B1G's wish list....but then the next we vaulted up to #4 on the B1G's wish list....but then the next day we should shut it down...then the next day we vaulted up to #4 on the B1G's wish list....but then the next we vaulted up to #4 on the B1G's wish list....but then the next day we should shut it down...then the next day we vaulted up to #4 on the B1G's wish list....but then the next we vaulted up to #4 on the B1G's wish list....but then the next day we should shut it down...then the next day we vaulted up to #4 on the B1G's wish list....but then the next we vaulted up to #4 on the B1G's wish list....but then the next day we should shut it down...then the next day we vaulted up to #4 on the B1G's wish list....but then the next we vaulted up to #4 on the B1G's wish list....but then the next day we should shut it down...then the next day we vaulted up to #4 on the B1G's wish list....

He actually has UConn at #3 and the flip-flop occurs much more rapidly than merely daily. It's gotten to the point where I can't even respond to Nelson's comments in hopes not to stir the hornets nest. I don't want to give him the satisfaction. So I wait and respond to the comments of others. It's the little things but they keep me sane.

The NBE is high-mid major conference but it has some high-major teams. Uconn, Cincy, Memphis, Temple will be ranked highly if deserving and we'll have a great non-conf schedule as always. Gonzaga is going to be ranked #1 next week...the NBE is a better conference than the WCC. Memphis was ranked #1 in the past out of Conf USA so UConn BB will not go away.

Football still has the BCS bid next year and by 2015 hopefully we have a new conference home. As the major conferences continue on the expansion road to 16-20 teams our day will come.
