I disagree. Mora was one of the biggest supporters of all the sports teams at the university. He would rock his Hook C hat and tweet about all the programs. Really engrained himself into the AD with all the programs. For him to completely ignore a major achievement from our bball team is...

Ok Mora, you got my attention now....maybe you are just lying low... Great pick up and welcome to UConn!!!!

Maybe the leg injury was more serious to his career than expected? I wish the kid all the best. Getting a degree in finance from UConn is no small feat. Good for him!

My wife gets it. She doesn't fully get my posting on the BY but her loss. We both said we'd name our first boy Kemba. Then we had two girls. After our first girl, I told her when she was pregnant again that whatever she was having next, they will be named Kemba. We've settled on naming our next...

If it's reported he has health issues and taking leave, my guess is he's going full Spanos and will not be coming back this season or beyond.

Is he showing his recruits that he's a committed coach who loves UConn by removing any mention of them in his social media profiles? Just wondering because if I were a recruit.....I might be a little worried that the guy I'm commiting to won't be here.

Just posted this in the Mora has changed thread. He is usually always shown in these clips making some kinda motivating comment or compliment. Not a single shot of him, or any staff IIRC.

This is alarming....he usually comments on the accomplishments of EVERY sports team in our AD. Couple this with removing UConn from social accounts and I have a bad feeling that an announcement will soon be following at some point. I also noticed he isn't shown in any of the clips shared on...

Can any reporter ask ANY question about the team?!?

You'd like to think winning two Nattys will allow you lots of options. It opens more doors but NIL banks of $5 million like at Arkansas or other larger amounts sometimes persuade more. Not sure UConn's NIL pot but winning championships alone won't get you "the pick of the litter" like it used to.

I wonder if Mora's lack of interest (supposed) has anything to do with the rumors of AD Dave heading to ASU? He's the reason Mora cAme to UConn. Gotta think that if he leaves, Mora is close behind.

Continuing to push non power football conferences to the side. As much as the Big East has been great for UConn. This is why our survival requires us to leave and beg for a spot in one of the big 4. However, it's always looked bleak.

Skip to 20 something minute mark. For some reason it just shows the logo for 20 minutes....

I love when people just assume schools can up and move to whatever conference they want. If a team gets good in the Big 12, they can't just invite themselves to the B1G or SEC. I think those two conferences have their wish lists and I don't believe any current Big 12 schools are on it. I also...

The Big 12 presidents looked at our bball and said "Great, it's top notch!" Then they looked at our football history and threw up in their mouths. Unless UConn figures it's stuff out on the football field, I don't see them going anywhere. Even a desperate ACC didn't add us. IMO, the.only way we...

Agreed but it's only a matter of time until the lack of media revenue catches up to UConn's ability to access the portal with NIL. I know it's not money from the colleges but signs are pointing to colleges starting to get involved in the future

The whole thing is odd. Now that the men have done the repeat, I'm hoping we get someone who will start asking Mora questions about Spring Ball. I don't need questions about him specifically. Let's just hear from him regarding the team's progress. All we've been getting are these small clips of...

ESPN talking heads have been gushing over us all day so forget this guy. Stephen A, who I can't stand, called us the Michael Jordan of college basketball. I mean, 29th overall and getting that type of praise? I'll tell this author where he can shove his article.

My wife asked me if this means I have to get another shirt. I asked her if that was a serious question and listed the other things I needed to get too.

I think the only thing that's concerning in all of this is his removal of UConn in his social media profiles. That's what you see recruits do when they decommit. That is something that you can't just ignore for find an excuse for.....

If this ever came to be, would some current schools.not be able to afford it and have to not be apart of it? Or is there revenue sharing like the pro leagues? I can't fathom the P2 or high end programs wanting to share their money equally so it begs the question, can 80 programs even afford to...

Got the feeling that without Sears shooting unconscious from 3, Clemson may have won. As it was, Clemson missed a lot of clutch FT. Take away Sears, take away a lot of their scoring. I like Castle on him and locking him down.

I don't want to hear that JF is competing with Roberson. Now if I heard CW and TR were competing, I'd be happier.

It will depend on what conferences think about moving forward in terms of media. If it's all about subscribers to online platforms, our bball success will play a huge role. Our bball fan base, men's and women's, is rabid and will subscribe to any platform. That will be attractive to conferences...

Their game plan was.solid and one that other teams haven't seemed to try yet this tourny. However, when you're getting manhandled and not getting the fouls called, you gotta switch it up. Instead they just kept going at him and he kept saying "Bring it!!"

I think it was Kansas in 2017. Think they said they won by 32. Complete, impressive win.

If this is what really happened, which I know you are just hypothesizing, then we are really in trouble. Anytime you hire someone because there's nothing else available, it never ends well. That reality, the we just settled in Sammis, is the biggest concern I have on this whole hire. It just...

So how long until we want Charlton back......? This was a predictable hire that we all wished to heck would never happen

Pretty sure that meant if any independent reached the playoff they'd individually get $6 Mil. They honestly could have said any independent not named ND who reaches the playoff will receive $300 million dollars and a spot in the SEC or B1G, their choice. It's never going to happen so why bother.

Yay!! 350k...there's our NIL budget.....:(

Hence why UMass did the math and went to the MAC. Not saying we should do the same but Indy status is killing us and this will be even worse. Schools like UMass will actually be making more money from the CFP payouts

I don't love that idea but let's do it and hit up Jason Kelce to see if he's willing to start a career in coaching and coach with a former NFL coach! I think he'd be a heck of an OL coach.

I see Cal/Stanford returning to a conference on the West coast and joining back up with OSU and WSU. When some of these ACC schools start packing their bags, are they really going to stay? I just don't see it. I don't see it being a thing now but it is. In the next round of realignment, I think...

Agreed and they were just waiting for the SEC to catch on to it and help finalize their power. The B1G has always been the head of this. The SEC has always been the best conference. The B1G needed the SEC to finally come to the reality that if they worked with the B1G, they could essentially own...

CFB is blowing up for good in front of our own eyes.
