Edsel Discontinued

Yesterday Edsel announced that he would leave at the end of this season. Today, the school announced the change of plans, saying that Edsall and director of athletics David Benedict had come to a "mutual decision that is in the best interest of the UConn football program for Edsall to step aside immediately."

UConn is going to blow this again. They should take this "opportunity" and shutter the football program. Really, how are the players going to play the remainder of the season? They've got Purdue Saturday. At Clemson November 13. They finish at home against Houston. You want players who quit playing against Holy Cross game to play for their DC in Death Valley? The right decision is to shut down the program but UConn won't do it, not until the end of the season anyway. They are "between" presidents. The Herbst Monster was eased out in 2019. Her replacement didn't last two years before quitting. They've got an interim. They've got an interim prez to go with an interim coach. The interim prez, whoever he or she is, is not going to make this decision. Maybe UConn is the problem. Maybe it's the third rail of higher education. Maybe it's toxic like Paterno-Sandusky University. Maybe you go there to die. Or be killed.
