Pretty clearly broke some rules that could easily lead to sanctions before you ever get there. Emmertt was fired by them. Hates them. Has demonstrated he will turn the screws at any chance.

I hate it but why wouldn't Puke or KY or even SJU go there? Please don't say scruples.
Hurley is a monster in the making if he closes one or both.
Butch’s pollNo one from our conference? Just also checked NBC sports poll too. While we certainly will have teams in the actual poll during the season it’s not good to have zero at any point pre or not. Does any poll have AAC teams in?
Last year we had ranked in conference teams on our sched. We are always under stress to win nonconference games early, and it will be worse this year. Those games against teams with a number are all big. It’s no good to play the conference sched against no rank teams.
If he becomes a big winner here i dont see him leaving for any of those jobs especially the Duke job. His brother was a duke guy not him. If you get the Uconn program back to the level of the 90s and most of the early 2000s how would any of those schools possibly be more appealing? He said Uconn was his dream job and something about him makes me believe that. Lets not forget Jim Calhoun came from Northeastern and could have bolted for another job but he never did. I think Hurley is here to stay.My biggest fear at this point is that he bolts for a job at Kansas, Kentucky, Duke (Probably the only jobs that could conceivably be viewed as major upgrades. But we could probably keep pace financially.). Or the NBA (but he doesn't seem like the type to want that). He feels like he idolizes the greats of college ball, and sees himself as much as a teacher as he does a coach.

Jokes aside, you can listen to Hurley talk for 5 minutes and you know this team is destined to return to greatness. It might not be this year or next. But it will happen. The guy will be among the greats in college basketball history, you can just feel it.

except the average high school kid doesn't know what bad PR is, doesn't know who Emmert is, etc. you're pitch works against fans though.If I am an ACC coach recruiting against UConn for Precious or Kofi the script almost writes itself.

Among the greats in college basketball history? I mean, it's possible, but I think this is more a case of overreacting to things like promise, energy, and competence when we haven't had that in a couple years. My gut tells me he's a good coach who won't necessarily always stand out nationally - which is fine.
