Message: [QUOTE="Stainmaster, post: 2577941, member: 5260"] I'll never understand why so many ignore how different the university and athletic department's financial outlook is going forward from when it was when KO's salary is set. We're spending more than some P5 schools, yet taking in money from a garbage AAC revenue deal that will get worse upon its next renegotiation. Revenue is cascading off of a cliff, attendance hasn't been this low in years, according to those in the know (Whaler) the MBB ticket pricing scheme is horribly constructed...bottom line, we are in deep financial doo-doo, and a KO-style contract is certainly not feasible going forward. People tell me I'm not a real UConn fan for suggesting that we value our tradition and history more than the average coaching candidate might, so there's that. We don' have a fan base that's ready to start winning again. We have a shell of a fan base that will only show up when the team is winning. [/QUOTE]
