Smart move. I would be hellbent against dropping baseball, but there are quite a few others I'd get rid of.

Hey at least southern miss has a history of success in football.

As does Yale...

A little bit of TV news slipped out accidentally today---

Benedict said he believes a new media rights contract for the AAC, which is currently being negotiated, could help the school "make a dent" in the budget gap.

So you're also disregarding Houston Basketball? Good to know.

I don't see the uconn non revenue sports making a dent on 40 million. the only real option is to have everyone travel by greyhound or drop football.
which leads me to think they only thought about this as an option because they don't think the tv money is going to be
as much as they thought.

if they drop football i don't see them staying in the american when they can go to the big east and be treated like a hero of some sort
and enjoy all the games they used to play. not to mention they would be a top 25 from the get go because everyone loves uconn and
in the big east they would be in every way to early top 25 poll.

kind of like how one of our players commits to an american team they lose a star in their recruiting and when they transfer or commit elsewhere they gain a star.

either way this is what i read from it. i think we go out west if they leave.

Im just not sure what they are spending 81 million on. The biggest expense is typically your football staff. UConn spends less on their football staff than a lot of other AAC teams. So---I have no idea where all that extra money is going. Bottom line, if football and basketball get better---they will sell more tickets and some of these issues will dissipate.

I mean it's pretty easy to see what we're spending money on. See the other AAC CSNBB thread or one of them on the Conference Realignment board to get your answers. Also pretty sure I broke down the truth on previous thread here. But go ahead and continue to be uneducated. By all means, Mr uneducated Mod.

i reread the article and it looks inevitable that one or more of the teams are going to get cut. i really think it's football. and without football i doubt there is much incentive to stay in the aac.

Considering our AD is a football first guy (from Auburn), I think you don't know jack ****. But I see your "incentive" to stir the pot.

never claimed to know only theorized. what incentive is there to stay in the aac with no football? im sure they would get less than half the allotted money on a tv deal and with the cost of travel it would be more beneficial to crawl back to the big east on their hands and feet than stay.

also, i read the other post you claimed to have provided some truth. you provided nothing but gifs and snarky remarks.

i also dont see an ad saving the program because hes football first. not at a cost of over millions. thats a quick way to be a ex ad who was football first.

im not sure about the drastic measures but the fact that its even being considered means something has to happen. again i dont see the other sports really making an impact on the debt. i think its in the best interest to make the football great again but will it ever be?

Well they did win 5 conference championships in a row and they had something like 17 straight winning seasons and they beat Alabama.

Sometimes I wonder if UConn really wants Football... Perhaps it would be best if UConn dropped football all together and simply join the new big east that way they could play basketball schools their fan base are familiar with.

Don't get me wrong I like UConn in the AAC but they seem to be the only AAC program making the most fits or threats going elsewhere.
