1. Syracuse had bag men passing out money in the 90s. Got caught.
2. The Cuse administration likes to sweep all bad stuff under the rug. Player smacks around a girl? Sweep it under the rug, player plays (at UConn, you'd be thrown out of school). Multiple players get caught smoking? Sweep it under the rug. A guy accuses a coach of molestation? Sweep it under the rug (talking about the 2005 "investigation").
3. Calhoun didn't pay the Baltimore guy $20k. He paid $25k. And it went to Baltimore Parks & Rec. And it was legal. Maryland, Duke, Cuse do it too. Heck, these coaches donate F4 tix to the Pump Bros. all the time. Only difference is the Pumps pocket the $$, whereas the UConn money went to Parks & Rec.
4. On the Cuse board, IthacaMatt admitted that the reason he wants UConn to go to the B10 is because he fears UConn basketball. He didn't say this last year when Calhoun was the coach. He wrote this over the last couple of days.
Cuse fans have a huge inferiority complex when it comes to UConn basketball. As they should. UConn kept this conference afloat and relevant during a dark period. Without UConn's ascendance, the league becomes carbon copies of the Catholic schools, about as relevant as the A-10.
