    How Much Is UConn Football Worth?

    Even after 3 eye-popping awful seasons, including 2018 with FBS' worst defense of all-time, UConn football (yes, football) is still a valuable brand/commodity. According to the Wall Street Journal, UConn is the 70th most valuable football program in the country (ranks 3rd in the AAC behind the...

    Les Miles to Kansas Brings Immediate Relevancy and Respect

    Kansas - every bit a hoops school like UConn - has had enough. They're investing significant money into football to secure their place inside the power conference world, regardless of what happens in the Big 12's future. They are putting $300M into upgrading their football stadium/facilities...

    Dear AD Benedict/UConn BOT: Spend Some Goddam Money On Football

    I completely understand folks for the "Cancel Football" posts and opinions. We are the unquestioned worst team in the country. Nobody - not even UMass - is lower than us. We'll be #1 Bottom 10 on every sports site on Monday morning for the rest of the season. But I want to do the exact...

    More Onside Kicks & 4th Down Attempts?

    This has been brought up in various threads and I thought it might be fun to discuss in a separate thread. What do you guys think of the idea of more onside kick attempts? Yes, I realize that sounds completely like fan-speak, but I think there could be some tactical advantages of trying it. It...

In parenthesis, I have included the school's total 2014-15 athletic department budget and subsidy (it's the latest available until this year's returns are filed), according to USA Today...

    Degenerates Thread - Week 12

    Early in the week, but I have my eye on... @Purdue +28 Wisconsin - Purdue is still bad and the Badgers will win easy, but I have a hard time laying 4 TDs on a team who likes to ground and pound. While Purdue has lost a lot games this year, they're still battling. Florida +14 @LSU - I think...

    I've had enough of this pandering from ESPN. There is not a metric out there that UConn doesn't meet for Power Conference requirements. It's time to put some heat on ESPN. $200+M in taxpayer money to renovate/expand their campus in a digital upgrade. $26M/yr annual tax credits. ESPN says...

    No B12 Expansion: What Next? Time to Shake Down Aresco for our T3 Rights

    So the B12 officially ended its quest to remain a power conference for the long term and, in doing so, also ended our hopes of finding a temporary Power home until we are ready for a B1G move. What now? The B1G might not expand for another 5-10 years. The ACC might never expand. That means...

    Justin Fuente Hired by Virginia Tech

    This deserves its own thread as it will significantly impact Memphis and the AAC. It might be a tough year for the Tigers next year to lose their coach and QB at the same time. Solid hire by VT. This should put them on an offensive level of Clemson in no time.
