Right off the jump we gotta go after Boozer and hope he gets a quick two fouls.

Collar might get tight on Duke down the stretch.

Yup - he just did. Good news for us.

You don't seem to be UConn and are factually wrong on many counts.

Could be. Maybe 7m. For the exercise above, I was just taking the AD's word and using that round number in the thought exercise.

Yeah, you think our basketball program is "pretty good". Lol. SMU and Calford brought added carriage fee revenue and were willing to take little and no payout and that's the only reason they were brought on. At least UConn has had the intestinal fortitude to not cave into any schemes the ACC...

If I'm Luke (with a nice lifestyle/young children and presumably a future inheritance) and I want to become a head coach, I would look at places not named BC. With no head coach/CEO experience, he'd be better off taking a really good situation at a mid major, learn and excel as a first time...

It was an easy choice. But not necessarily the best choice. Time will tell.

They need donors, too so the jury is out. And recruiting has to then rise big time. Lots of hope for BC fans, but until it's actually pulled off it is simply that - hope.

I'm not sure it's damn good but might be good. Where my head is at that given 5-7 years ago the Syracuse job and program were definitely top 20 and now it's not even top 40. Hire alumni at your potential peril; it shuts you off from so many really good and proven coaches.

I see your logic but I think where we differ is that I think we'd get more than the 30% share because of the strength of both of the basketball programs. Now, as part of the BE we get ~ 7m per year but I would imagine the combined value of the basketball programs is around 3 times that of the...

Yeah, I get all that but 5-6 years is an eternity and you can always have discussions with him along the way but it just seems so contrived that it has little chance of happening.

That rarely works out well and there's Kimani there as well. Honestly, from the UConn perspective they'd want a proven head coach from elsewhere on the next hire.

I'd imagine that Luke is all set financially and he's not going to chase a salary increase... So, if I'm Luke I would wait for a better situation than BC because it's really not a program that is set up for success and he'll be constantly toiling away in the cellar to maybe middle of the ACC...

Pretty sad, but that's where Syracuse basketball is right now.
