Message: [QUOTE="Moontan, post: 3272008, member: 166"] Some comments from their thread: “Randy better perform this year. Im tired of this nonsense along with the other last 5,000 of us who care.” “So H&H with UNC, BC, MD, etc. But 2 for 1 with Cuse? Wut!” “2 for 1 with the oranges is dumb. Bad move by AD Dave if true.” “A 2 for 1 with 'cuse is the first downer I've seen on the scheduling front.” “That would blow. If we are doing 2-1 get someone better than Syracuse.” “Not pleased with the Syracuse deal. I will be sending Benedict negative feedback soon.” “Why is a 2 for 1 with Syracuse that bad? We need local rivals, Cuse is a P5 team, and it's not like we have a lot of football capital to work with. Because... They are a LOCAL RIVAL!” “Filling dates, as long as it doesn't become a habit 2/1 with Cuse is fine. Anyone from either fanbase that wants to go to the game can find a ticket easy. Maybe the 3rd game is at Yankee Stadium but as long a the Liberty games are small in number this kind of thing is fine.” “Agreed. Beat them 3 times and get paid twice for it... :cool:” [@Moontan ha ha!] “I haven't seen the financials behind the Syracuse deal. But we can't turn a game down like that for two reasons. First, beating them helps recruiting. Second, playing them on the road helps our budget. It's starting to look like we'll make more football money as an independent than we did as an AAC member, and we haven't even squared away a tv contract yet...” “BS. If we can get a home and home with the University of No Classes then we shouldn’t settle for less with Fruit U.” [@Moontan :)] “Beat them. Go to the Dome it’s not far away. Would love it if they can disappoint Cuse fans like they used to.” “The fruit better be paying 7 figures for the extra game.” [@Moontan ;)] “It’s 3 games vs a regional P5 team. I can’t be mad about that. Would be neat if it was a 1-1-1 With the 3rd at MetLife or Yankee Stadium.” “I do not now and will never in this lifetime accept any suggestion that Syracuse is somehow on a different level than UConn, except maybe at Lacrosse.” [@Moontan How many National Championships has Yukon won again... ] “UConn is going to get 3 P5 games and money in exchange for the fourth game. What's the issue?” “I'm fine with 2 for 1 if we get compensated for not having the second return game. If we don't, then I would be slightly disappointed. [@Moontan While it may not be a straight 2-for-1, I doubt that we’re talking more than $400-500k] And finally, a realist... “You don't have to, but like it or not, Syracuse, BCU & Rutgers are all in P5 conferences and we're still digging out of the rubble from a 10-year-long football program apocalypse. How about we win a FBS game (that isn't UMess) first before we get this finicky about future opponents?” [/QUOTE]
