Wow ...that's an intelligent response ! .....I just told you Uconn would have lost about $8 million a year if they were dumb enough to stay with the Big East and that's all you got ? Again let me give you a little inside info, Nova and Xavier having a good season ( or five) wasn't gonna help KO become a better coach or pay for his $10 Mil buyout .....so try again....2 Big East teams got #1 Seeds!!!!!! The Big East is the dominant basketball league!

I think this is totally false. He MAY come to Uconn and commute back to Kingston where both his sons are in High School. He and his family supposedly love living in RI but if he were to take Uconn job he could commute.Hurley is the guy. Brash JC clone.....we need attitude and NE pride and this guy has it. Bring him in RIGHT NOW and lets move on.
saw on twitter, not a great source I know, that he was in Storrs looking at houses.....oldest most used rumor ever for a coach looking......but its out there.
I agree neither choice was great but you must of missed years of discussions with KSTW & my post on the other page: : "In 2015-16, UConn received $10,523,469 from the AAC...Most Big East teams, without the benefit of big-time football, received between $2.3 million to close to $3 million from the league in 2015 "I guess I'm missing the point you're making here. I think everyone knows the best solution for UConn was to join a Power 5 conference. Unfortunately, that choice wasn't UConn's to make. The two options they had were to either support football and go with the AAC, thereby gambling with the future success of the basketball program(s); or they could have moved to the New Big East and take their chances with football. Neither choice was great. .
If that's your thought.... then I don't know what to tell you. So now the story is KO would have done better, not worse in the BE and somehow saved what he's done to the program.... Well I guess we can agree to disagree...... on my belief that FB has zero to do with him getting fired and turning Gampel into a morgue.... Might as well tear it down and move back to the fieldhouse while we're at it.....Uconn's got to be realistic....I think the NBE option would have to involve scrapping football.
Very true, Shaggy....that's what the numbers say......Uconn FB averaged 97% capacity ( 38,664 ) at the Rent for 8 strait years, even with 2 losing seasons under Edsall because he had the capability to turn things around and win.....The Uconn fans were even patient with Pasqualoni averaging over 34,000 in his 3 years despite his 10-18 record. But you can't have another bad hire on top of that like Diaco.win & they will come...dwindling fan base solely because we’ve been god awful under PP & BD.
Not some new revaluation... this is exactly what I said in Feb. Even before they fired him:"I'm sure there would be plenty of P-5 coaches who'd be sniffin' around for the Uconn job ( $$$ wise)... but KO's got such a huge buyout, it's a bigger problem".( lack of $$$).
In that case for your reading from TOS: Is Hurley Really The Answer?
