Stoney Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I’m not sure how much of this is based on the Corona and how much is the dumpster fire that has become UConn football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say I remember hearing Edsall has a provision in his contract that UConn remain FBS as long as he is coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The year they went to the orange bowl they cost them $$$$ . If this was really a concern you would see way more programs doing this. Getting rid of your money maker the only sport in most cases that makes money is ridiculous and financially stupid. Women's basketball is their money maker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue82 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 All the teams on their schedule are upset because they miss out on a automatic win in the race to bowl eligibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say UConn's women's basketball team is their moneymaker with 11 National Championships. Their men's team has also won two National Championships in the past 10 years. I think this is going to hurt them in the long run, unless the entire NCAA season is over. It took SMU so long to get out of the basement after receiving the death penalty. I could be wrong, because it didn't hurt UAB with their football program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
