Husky Talk was treated with a special guest Kevin Solomon who was pleasure to have on as a guest. His father played football at UConn and Kevin knew all about the Huskies.

Kevin was a good athlete and played many sports growing up. His father was an incredible influence by allowing and encouraging him to try as many sports as Kevin wanted. He settled on baseball as his main focus because it was his best chance to compete at the college level.

After a visit to Kent State, Kevin came to UConn and loved the family atmosphere from the team. Kevin had his dream come true being able to play division 1 baseball at UConn with some of the most talented players around.

Since graduating, Kevin has an outstanding job at Verizon, but even better is the Husky Ticket Project which is a non-profit organization he put together. Kevin and his team wanted to give back, providing tickets to underprivileged kids to attend UConn sporting events. Of course, there is a high demand for basketball tickets, Kevin always makes sure to have enough games for the kids to be there for.

I can tell you from experience, being able to watch UConn play football and basketball in person was a huge reason I committed. When you are bringing kids to a UConn game, seeing the atmosphere, passion, and enthusiasm can change the direction of your life. Please support Kevin by going to his website at Huskyticketproject.com

Mike Burton has done a spectacular job raising NIL money for UConn and doing most of the work by himself. SMU is joining the ACC, within 24 hours they raised over 150 million dollars for their NIL. They made a statement that football is important, and they understand what it will take to succeed in a conference.

We need to flex our muscles and show UConn has the power to raise NIL money because we know the value of being a member of the Big 12 will provide more revenue for athletics and ultimately the school. Please go to bleedingblueforgood.org and pick a sport to donate to. We don't need a 10,000 dollar donation. If everyone can give just a little bit of money, between $200 and $500 dollars, our collective can raise money to make a difference.

On the field, we can recruit talent that will dominate. I don't want to see us trounced by Maryland. It's not all on the UConn football team, it's on us as alumni to step up and give so we can have success. All donations receive tax exceptions as well
