I hope Connecticut bounces back and doesn't have to give up football. It's entirely okay to have the P5 aspirations ...
Oh well, we will find out soon enough the path the University takes
what do you mean by soon enough? is there something we dont know about? UCONN's ony option is to stay in the AAC, correct? That seems to be very long term
You are right. That's the only option but something tells me that if Connecticut football doesn't improve and basketball starts to suffer (terrible start this year) in addition to the heavy investments in FB and little returns (huge subsidies) the University won't be able to pull this off in the long term. They either have to climb to the top of the AAC FB or consider other cheaper options. You can't bleed money for too long before people start to pay attention. It's a public University after all...
I would hate to see that thought. I still believe that University has the quality, size, and support to have a P5 FB program
