Message: [QUOTE="UConnNick, post: 2297274, member: 1526"] I seriously doubt that Calhoun's UConn compensation is tied to any obligation to be Don Ollie's consigliori. His $300k salary is likely based on fundraising for the athletic dept. If he happens to occasionally provide some advice and counsel to Ollie when it's solicited, that's a bonus of having him around, but no program is going to pay an ex-coach that kind of money as an obligation for him to hang around the locker room. Dee Rowe has been collecting a UConn paycheck ever since he quit coaching the team. He wasn't being paid to be a coaching advisor either. He performs some functions as a fundraiser for the athletic dept., just like Calhoun does. [/QUOTE]
