solution to all this:
2011: acc did not vote in favor of wvu, the acc chose ruty and uconn. the proof of this is in the fsu and clem research there bot or pres or who ever was quoted talking about. he stated that the most valuable properties in the big east were wvu, then uconn and lville, then ruty/cuse/pitt. they wouldn't take bad academics and got snobby, so uconn and ruty got a invite. we passed and decided to live with wvu who actually wins . we wanted to see that nbc contract and how good it could get, there a reason they moved to where they did. cuse and pitt take the bait right away like typical private school . pitt/cuse/bc/duke/wake to me are dead wood, i would like nothing more than to watch them rot and watch us rise. wvu then gets a b12 invite, can't blame them for going and now uconn and ruty are left out, to add insult the bc dicckhead shoots his mouth off. so what. we know were hotshit still and that we will get our spot. jus twin baby. the reason espn put out all those ruty/uconn to the acc for 16 stuff was becuase they knew that syrapitt didn't bring the value and they couldn't pay the acc enough to keep the big boys home. the result is what u see now with fsu/clem and crew looking elsewhere. the acc leadership screwed up, espn tried to incourage him to fix it and he didn't now as result espn said f it we will kill it, they gave the b12 all the amo it needs. its going to be a crazy summer.
2012-bball pf breaking ground
summer 2012-we are invited to the acc(fsu/clem leave) and we pass again becuase then the B1G invites us.
2013-new baseball/soccer and w/e else on the way
2013-bball is all done with ncaa bs
2014-all above is finished, this is our 1st year in the B1G
2014-downtown storrs round 1 is looking good
summer 2014-we leave the NBE for the B1G
2015- JC's last year with uconn as hc. he will forever be around the program, we will put a statue of him and db together in front of our new announcment to come in a couple years. the court will be named after him. the statues will be positioned so that 20 years from now we can put a geno and doty ones with them also.
KO/KH take over the program. for those wondering, shaka took over UK after Cal was caught again and finally the ncaa did something about it.
2015-we gut gampel for a 7kish puck factory. its great and we now play psu/nd/mich on the reg and have umass/prov/bu/bc ooc games. god bless puck.
2016-we announce that a 15k arena is being bilt into downtown storrs. this is the end of the xl finally. time to start creating a fanbase on campus instead of killing it off campus. times are different now, were a B1G member not a city school.
2017-with this and dt storrs its now the state and towns job to build up the surrounding towns of uconns campus to little college towns like fairfield for example. small pops are fine but having a local fanbase is important. its a short trip to hartford for work every day and that can be the future bright spot of ct if we build this part of the state correctly. this needs to be an on going thing for 20 years. dt storrs was the begining of it. this is also how u increease your own market. its going to be a part of culture in this state 10 years from now to mow the lawn and goto a uconn game on the wekeends just like it is in other states. were getting there.
2020-all is well and we now have 34k season tix holders. ppl are itching to expand the rent becuase while were sucessful on the fields/courts were still looked at as a little kid in the conf becuase of size. it becomes a question of do we sit tight for 10 years at 40k and then just build a 60k dt storrs place or do we forever lock outselves into hartford. we answered that with the bball stuff. we sit tight and eventually in 2025-2030 range we put up the $$ for a 60k downtown storrs stadium thats on par with the big boys. highway stuff is done and the best tailgating set up ever, etc etc with ideas. we sold the rent to a owner in the mls or the lax league and that team becomes the only pro sports team in ct. thats fine as that type of team won't hurt our #'s as uconn tix sold. we make a agreement with them that they can't schedule same times as fball games and they can oly expand there palce to 50. they pay up $80mil for the rent. thats half way to our stadium in cash.
uconn is now a college town with surrounding towns being the same. its a short ride from hartford with great highways now(cough 384). a much higher % of college grads now live within a hour of campus and it becomes the lifestyle. we sell out 15k and 60k games like a bud light sale at walmart. were hosting baseball regional and just pissing bc off that our puck is in the same ncaas as them.
this is susans vision! and it should be yours. dream B1G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
