Car ash trays and couch cushions?

Connecticut taxpayers' wallets (ie me).

You know love, I think it's time to move...

I'll be heading South in 2022 after I finish up some things here.

I can't imagine you in the Deep South, but give Savannah, GA a chance. Stopped by there on the way back from the Cure Bowl and it's got a nice vibe. You could raise a family and all there.

Where 10 million dollars came, at least in the case of East Carolina? From the fees of sick people visiting the local hospital. Money that could have otherwise been used to help the indigent sick. 10 million dollars was reallocated from a Physician's Group by East Carolina to its football program. So really don't think you're in a position to criticize UConn.

Think about the promo opportunities though.

"Get hit by a bus for your chance to lead the Pirates onto the field in 2019!"

"Time to water down the diabetes medicine. The team wants new football helmets."

Dang, does UConn practice with gold plated basketballs for the men's team and diamond studded basketballs for the women's team?

Because I don't see any evidence they're spending that cash on the football team.

Champagne and caviar for a large group on a charter can run expensive.

Ok Here’s the plan:

We’re gonna develop a few of those parking garages into luxury condos and pre-sell them to the Chinese for EB-5 visas. The football team will still suck but it will only take a few classes of Chinese kids to surpass Yale in scholastics.
