Just before the 6 P.M. newsbreak they were discussing the effects of College realignment on the UConn program. Joe D. mentioned about how the B1G picked Rutgers because Pernitti sold them a bill of goods on how Snooki would deliver the NYC market. Same old, same old-said that not Rutgers, not Syracuse, not UConn-NOONE delivers the NYC market. Went on to discus how football season ticket sales are "WAY DOWN" for the 2015 season & that he suspects that will also be the case with Men's & Women's hoops. His reasoning being that UConn is stuck in the AAC & the average fan has no connection to UConn's conference opposition, Cinci & maybe Temple excepted. The absence of local opponents is killing UConn at the box office.
Given these comments, my suspicion is that a future announcement of season ticket sales of @ 15K would be the target, but that actually the A.D. is staring at a much lower total. They are in a world of hurt.
