I think we all expected to be the front runner early and then dropped at the 11th hour. There's no one respect tradition anymore?Why on earth are posters acting surprised the ACC isn't interested in UConn? Did the past 20 years teach you nothing?

There's better odds that I'll be the subject of the next Taylor Swift song than this.Wouldn’t it be wild if we swoop in at the last minute to take the bid for once?
Because a large organization supposedly made up of smart people can make mistakes. They can even make another mistake in the same direction. But eventually you think they might learn from those mistakes and correct them, especially when the intervening data shows clearly that they were mistakes.Why on earth are posters acting surprised the ACC isn't interested in UConn?

The reality is we prove you can be a national champion on a shoe string. We have to fight for everything and yet we win. We prove that the rest of these schools probably have some funky accounting going on. They get millions of dollars and majority don't win anything or even have winning seasons. We are the proof they are at worst corrupt and at best incompetent.Because UConn fans are naive and gullible.
Some guy who knows someone at the Will Call at KU posted some “insider info” and everyone bit.
They are trying to kill us.
What’s funny is that the Die Hard Big East UConn Fans think that that it’s some oasis and will never be impacted.
They are in for a rude awakening.
Depends, is the name of this song "crazy ass stalker"?There's better odds that I'll be the subject of the next Taylor Swift song than this.
I'm really not too worried about basketball and envision even more national championships. I don't see any major changes to what we have in basketball any time soon, it would be suicide. Who knows, maybe 10 or so years down the road but nothing will look like it does now that far down the road. It certainly sucks for football right now though.Because UConn fans are naive and gullible.

Blocked from several threads, only way to get my thoughts across.I’m surprised you keep creating new threads for every random thought in your head.

You realize UConn has a $100M AD budget.The reality is we prove you can be a national champion on a shoe string. We have to fight for everything and yet we win.

Yes I do but i mean by shoestring we don't a lot of money from a conference. Yes our budget is based on our States wealth and commitment from the Governor. But would it be fair to suggest these schools in P5 have large budgets as well in addition to the conference money?You realize UConn has a $100M AD budget.
Hardly shoestring
They're not interested in us until they are interested in us.Why on earth are posters acting surprised the ACC isn't interested in UConn? Did the past 20 years teach you nothing?
Thanks for posting -very eye opening.$46.5 million of the $100 mill Athletic Department budget is characterized as Direct Institutional Support....data compiled by Sportico.
Folks not familiar with UConn might be concerned that the amount of Direct Institutional Support is not sustainable over time.
But click on the revenue breakdowns by school....it is somewhat educational...for instance, Texas lists zero Direct Institutional Support..yet gets bazillions from the state oil trust.

Also fascinating to see the UConn basketball budget deficit growing larger. It is basically as big as the Football deficit if you combine both teams and that is without the Ollie payout. Pretty much kills the idea that even basketball is OK in the Big East.Thanks for posting -very eye opening.
The number that really stands out is media rights at 1.47 million. I guess that is why we are all frustrated with the current state of affairs. I know AD Benedict is doing everything in his power to move the needle....but how about administration and politicians - We all know that is just not a sustainable number.
And therein is the problem. UConn was never a front-runner, so it wasn't dropped at the 11th hour.I think we all expected to be the front runner early and then dropped at the 11th hour. There's no one respect tradition anymore?

So good catch on your part but my statement still stands regardless of wordage.
