Hmmm, very next comment after you might have taken the cake.

No one that thinks there's a possibility that uc football won't be around in 20 years? Maybe I'm extraordinarily pessimistic but to me it seems like an unsustainable model as is. If UC doesn't get the big boy invite 5 or so years I think the decent will begin.

Hell, UConn is darn close to nuking their football program right now.

I think you're just extraordinarily pessimistic...

I honestly hope that I am. How long do you think UC can/will continue to spend on football at the current amounts without a P5 invite?

BeerCat,

I am admittedly stupid and ignorant (you could probably stop my thought right there) on the whole "P5/G5" revenue streams and networks issue. I know it gets talked a lot about around here, but I honestly don't follow it that much because it is boring to me.

What money is UC missing out on? And why can't we get it? Are the P5 conferences guaranteed an X amount of money that we can't get, and what would it take for UC to get their hands in that cookie jar? Are you saying that our football program can't pay for itself simply on ticket sales and advertising alone?

"If"we started winning 10-12 games a year again consistently for the next 5-10 years and stayed in thr top 25 would there be any possibility for us to get greater network deals than our other G5 brethren?
