I hope Dave can get them to fix it. Outline how bad the situation is and tell them that if we ever want to be profitable, we need to modify their rules. Unfortunately a lot of the people in charge are strict academics who simply don't get it. It's really annoying.
In fairness... why should he write about BC?.. no one, anywhere, cares about BC; at least if he writes about UConn he might catch an eyeball or two.
There is nothing fair about DiMauro, guy loves to pen whatever he can to kick this university around.
he is a professional troll
Liked the post after reading the first two sentences. Randy only took the low road twice in my eyes and anyone who never made a mistake is simply not doing anything. He never got what he needed from Hathaway / school once he got the program up and running.
Basketball has never had academic issues...
I get how you and most others feel about this guy, but he pointed out stuff that has created tons of issues ever since we started having a lit if success at the FBS level. Again it sucks hearing this from non UConn guy, but it's all apart of the competition thing. There's plenty of pro UConn folks out there that talk a lot of crap too. Too much crap (if you ask me) considering the struggles we've had.
lol I meant more so that I don't recall that academics being an issue with getting players into the school like Randy/DiMauro claimed with football
Basketball was/is treated differently. They ask for one or two admissions. Football?? They are asking for many more.
Too much credit with troll designation.....
I had a few classes with football players and several group projects with a handful of them. One of them was really, really smart. The others... Well they were some of the worst students I've ever met in my entire life. Their school systems totally failed them. These guys could barely write. It was really sad.
Logan Marchi was what year of PP regime? It was still going on at that time.
Maybe this will help...
....UConn drops SAT, ACT requirement for three years
Except people pick this stuff up and repeat it. Heard the exact same wording on SiriusXM as if they just copy pasted it.
To be clear. They did but they never used it as an excuse to get talent. And did get talent and still do under a good coach.
I'm not sure DB intended to push him out. But if Randy publicly announced his own exit strategy without consulting him first that was probably the last straw. Just took Dave a few hours to marinate and recognize what had happened, and then encounter more intransigence over the approach to the rest of the season.
Basically he quit while on the job and as employer UConn said thanks but no thanks. Sometimes it happens
Not overblown, at least back then.
