    U Conn men's soccer

    same issue being discussed on the last few pages of this thread http://talking-soccer.com/TS4/showth...=1#post2412910.

    Almost no D1 athletics program runs in the black, but $40M in the red is unsustainable. Something has to give

          Oh really. Titles are the same.

            Soccer will be the last men’s sport to go at UConn. Golf, baseball or track will go 1st.

            But everyone had to know going to the AAC would crush the budget for athletics. Travel for UConn in this conference is ridiculous. Football is an embarrassment being the worst ever college football team this year. They honestly should get rid of football all together. They get horrible crowds nobody really cares about the team. Students don’t support it.

              Fire Ray Reid and the rest of the coaching staff and perhaps UCONN won’t be a joke to the soccer community.

                Morrone & Friends of Soccer built and endowed 10 scholarships. Travel is certainly more expensive these days with conference games involving plane travel, but the Men's program - for a long, long time - was revenue generating when they played in Big East. Those days are over. When you have to fly the entire swim team to Houston, SMU, etc it adds up fast, but the soccer program should survive.

                What they need to do is get rid of Ray Reid who is antagonistic to everyone except his wallet. He does nothing off field to facilitate growth or even 1/20th of what Morrone did to build good will, community relations, raise money or visibility.

                Get someone that cares about UConn and the program will thrive again. Get back to the big east and make football independant. Ray Reid and This AD have to get the heave ho

                    Of course students won't support a poor performing team. No shocker there - they'd rather go drinking than watch a bad, losing game. Get into a conference that costs less and where the team has a chance. Cut the number of scholarships in half (really, many players would be happy just getting admitted) and cut some of the sports that nobody goes to watch.

                      The mistake was the CT Lawmakers supporting football going Div 1 and all the costs associated (stadium, etc.). CT is not a football state or a pro team state, so we will never and have never commit to supporting local teams. It was a joke when they proposed it and it’s a bigger joke today. Team sucks, coach sucks, allowed to pay his son to be on staff though he isnt capable. People should pay. We lay off state workers that help people to give money to meatheads

                          Strong player, a loss for UConn. Odd that you’d post this info and not say where you heard he’s going...

                              Pointless post then. Did anyone ask you to name the source?
