Message: [QUOTE="Jaydumo20, post: 4890385, member: 9280"] The Ohio State - Sean Miller thread got me thinking: I know this topic has been bubbling under the surface but I feel the need to address something that hasn't gotten much consideration. It's not news that this country has a preoccupation with $$$ above all else. This sentiment is not shared around the globe, as hard as it may seem to believe. Given this predisposition, I feel that we automatically consider a big 4- big football school bball job- a better job for a coach than a job at a non p4. Simply because of the $$$ in salary, or facilities etc. But the big football schools have not turned this over in terms of titles or success in the ncaa. Have football schools had success? Yes. But if the argument is that being a big football school translates to college bball success, then the results are dubious. It is specious reasoning. This is the era of NIL. We are not a football school, nor is Marquette, nor is Creighton but it's working out for for us. The big $$$ p4 job has yet to prove itself as a cbb program builder or a better situation for a coach, over the non P4. There is more to coaching success and happiness than a big check. More to life as well. Have a good weekend. Go UConn [/QUOTE]
