Message: [QUOTE="CuseLegacy, post: 2552121, member: 469"] [MEDIA=twitter]978244927757852704[/MEDIA] Not much new. [B]The D.O.:[/B] What’s on your agenda for the next couple of years? [B]J.W.: [/B]There’s a number of things we want to do. The good news, there was a lot already in good shape. Our biggest upside is football. It’s incumbent on me and my staff to give Babers the time he needs to turn the football program around. We want to compete at the highest level. Are we putting enough resources behind them so they can compete at an ACC championship level? That’s what we’re here to do. [B]The D.O.: [/B]Can you provide an update on the status of a possible naming rights deal for the Dome? [B]J.W.: [/B]It’s premature at this point to get into that until we have a better sense of what we know what the renovation would include. [B]The D.O.: [/B]Maybe the Wegmans Dome? [B]J.W.: [/B]I am a big Wegmans fan. That place is amazing. Great brand. They have great equity with their consumers. I have great admiration with them. We used to miss it when we’d go back to Connecticut for the school year. Now we get to go 12 months of the year. [B]The D.O.: [/B]As far as upgrading facilities, what sort of update can you give? Could we expect any new upgrades soon? [B]J.W.: [/B]We made some modest modifications to softball this year, part of which is to get ready for the launch of the ACC Network in 2019. We really need to work on more of a holistic plan at some point for renovations. We’ve always got our eye on our facilities and what we can do to enhance them because that’s clearly an important element. [B]The D.O.: [/B]Speaking of the ACC Network, what update can you give there? What are you most excited about with its launch? [B]J.W.: [/B]ESPN was the partner with the network. They have to go out and get the network cleared and get the network distributed. They’re going to put their horsepower behind that. What really excites me is the opportunity it’s providing kids in Newhouse to get involved in live events sporting production. We’re doing that now. Which is great. It’s a tremendous hands-on experience for Newhouse kids. I look forward to expanding on that. [/QUOTE]
