I'm talking about all the schools in general. Most of the ones you'd need to influence aren't paying attention.
But as an aside I think UConn is lost on realigment and continues to use their fanbase as an atm to soak dry instead of leveraging as a strength.
One thing I've learned from these forums. Even the brightest amongst us view the world based on our own particular need. It is called perspective, but the point I'm emphasizing is we utilize our skills to present information that fits our needs. A poster liked buddy is a pessimist, a poster like Butch is an optimist, a poster like FTT is an elitist and so on. Most of us end up playing a few notes out of the entire symphony, but in the end, the entire presentation over a particular subject by the various presenters comes closer to the entire symphony. Certainly there are a few interjections by posters that are not the symphony, and are the audience disrupters, but the picture is far more accurate when we extract ourselves from our need to argue our point of view, and take a moment to accept other arguments as opposed to refuting them outright.
My take is that UConn's past administration has made far more mistakes regarding CR than the current one, the current one is still making some mistakes which is natural given an ever changing landscape, but is working much harder than the prior group to improve the universities image. It is a public institution and as such the leaders have to be careful how they generate revenues and allocate expenditures regarding athletics. There are only a finite group of sources for revenues - students, fans, media, government and boosters. Getting too much monies from students and the government will get a backlash from the public. The media is fixed for now and a horrible source relative to other major programs. So that leaves fans and boosters. Boosters support winners and not losers. So that source will be reduced when football and bb are down.
That leaves fans for now. My hope is this current administration goes all out on the football coaching hire, that the coach turns the football program around, KO proves worthy to be a successor to JC, and that with the success of both programs, the policy of how the University allocates seating gets revised.
