The Hit Em Up of angry booster letters, in of all places, Storrs, Connecticut.
""The primary reason (former coach) Randy (Edsall) took another job is because he couldn't work with you," Burton wrote in the letter to Hathaway. "You are not qualified to be a Division I AD and I would have fired you a long time ago. You do not have the skills to manage and cultivate new donors."
...
Burton advised Hathaway that he and his family will "implement eight actions" effective immediately. Among the actions:
• The family will not pay for its $50,000-per-year luxury suite at Rentschler Field. "You already have many other empty boxes at Rentschler. My box will just join the list," Burton wrote.
• The family will not purchase an $8,000 advertisement on the inside cover of the football program.
• All remaining scholarship dollars, including "the current balance" earmarked for football, will be transferred to the business school.
• The family will stop its $20,000 annual donation for a summer coaching clinic and plans to make no future donations to UConn.
• The family, which used the UConn business school to help "train our first line managers" for its business, will use the Syracuse business school instead."

I feel so important now
Rich boosters are going to ditch their current school for mine? And give our football program gobs of money? I kinda feel like an ESS EEE SEE program now. If only I can find the upstate NY version of PAWL.
One day, I hope to be rich enough
so I can use my money to intentionally exclude pricks like this from things that their self-important entitled asses think they should be a part of.

This is the rich asshole version of....
…“I’m taking my ball and going home.”
I don't care much about the Super Bowl, but I hope Ben Roethlisberger treats the Packers like a coed in a bathroom stall.
I would like to purpose an addition;
Virgin Islands beach bar/deep sea fishing venture / and Buffalo Wing emporium.
I can pan fry some mean chicken wangs. Some of us have limited skill sets, I work with what I got.

All the guy wanted was to be kept in the loop and provide input.
If I was donating a tenth of the amounts he’s talking about, I’d want a cushy feeling that I’m important too.
Go Bulls!
