What makes you think that ESPN cares that much about getting UConn "for cheap" anyway? They have a ton of money to spend on other programs. One more program wouldn't make much of a difference if they understood it to be worth it.

Maybe it's best to stay quiet if the Big East really does have a competitive advantage... I wouldn't say shhhhhit. lol P.S: I know UConn fans weren't around when the NBE was relaunched and prob didn't care to follow the NBE in its early days. But Val did an amazing job re-building this...

Busy and productive year for you bud. Congrats!

Been on paternity leave the last couple of months. I need to escape NYC for a week or so before returning to office but the wife thinks is a bad idea. Is it okay to drive out 2-3 hours away with a 10-week baby for a 4-day shore getaway? For the experienced folks - would you recommend it? In my...

early congrats!!!

Yeah. I get it to a certain extent. But damnnn. We are talking about a top-notch SEC school. SEC schools already have huge revenue sources and large athletic budgets If a top-tier SEC schools cannot figure out a way to balance their budgets or even make a profit despite being on the top tier of...

This is scary. Universities are willing to continue to get deep in debt for athletics in this revenue sharing environment. Holy Shy#t. the corruption in academia is worse than I thought

Interesting case of lower case nate being better than upper case Nate. Usually it's the other way around

Remember - the cartel is not above the law. Any attempt to cap revenue based on specific sports will end up in lawsuits. In a free-market scenario a school should be able to share all the revenue created by a given program (sport) with the athletes that helped generate that revenue. The more...

I just hope the revenue sharing somehow reduces the outrageous coaching salaries and levels things out a bit on that front... but I'm probably being foolish

I been investing heavily in real estate for the past 8 years. I'm glad I started young. Now I have 4 triplex multi-family homes in NJ. It's been a great tax saving strategy in addition to the cash flows. The homes were new construction which for me (someone who didn't want to get into the...

hahaha. that's how I feel.

Hmmm... should we bail them out now that they are down? You know that if they beat us a few consecutive years in the series they will use it against us. Sorry, I have trust issues with the ACC. lol

I get that. But I always have a preference to save taxes TODAY than to save taxes in the future. It maximizes your contribution and the money that grows tax free. I say get your tax savings today, and as you get older you can buy assets that may help you offset some of the distributions from...

Yeah, they say the best saving is paying off debt... and it makes sense. the more you pay off, the less you have worry about. the less income you need and the less taxes you end up paying
