Didn't someone say it was $15m recently?

Regardless, I agree, what is the point of rehashing this on the main UConn board if the money for a buyout doesn't exist, especially when the state is cutting $100m to $200m in funding to UConn over the next several years?

The details are in one of the threads but it’s pretty close to exactly 10mm after this season.

People like winners. UConn is a national phenomenon. Was wearing a UConn shirt here in Buffalo today when a soccer mom and her daughter stopped me to talk, and they said UConn women's bball is must-watch TV for them and their friends.

Napier had a lot of good things to say about Ollie recently.

And the amazing thing here is that Napier was the only NBA guy on that 2014 team, which is extremely rare for a national champion, so either Napier is one of the greatest college bball players of all time, or he had some coaching help. Even if you don't want to give Ollie credit, you need to give the assistants credit, because that was a masterful coaching job, and those players developed over their final 2 years in Storrs when Ollie was head coach.

Napier improved, Boatright improved, Giffey improved, Nolan improved, Daniels improved.
 
As much as I think we need a new direction, blowing 10 million dollars is not the right answer for the university.

Unless there’s a scandal or something that requires his immediate termination I think we’re stuck with him until 2020 or maybe even later. Losing season/no NCAAT included. It’s a business.

Napier was clearly one of the greatest bball players of all time.

Yeah no * Waq what did he do his soph year in case you can't read? Awful, he was sideways with everyone and certainly could've easily left the program like everyone else. Too old to recall how it was turned around and who helped make that happen?

Everyone, including JC went sideways that year. That year is a throwout for all involved.

God man, this is the thread that got me to ignore stairmaster – I'd totally forgotten about that kid! Funny to look back and see how wrong he was about literally everything.

I wonder if there's a way to track who the most ignored person on the boneyard is. Gotta be between him, freescooter & JSM I'd imagine.

Bro. You claimed Earl Grant could recruit “at an elite level” because he was on staff for four mediocre to terrible classes at Clemson and a four-year span at Wichita State in which they failed to make the tourney once.

You’re without question the last person here who should be calling me out on a poor understanding of the college basketball landscape.

Also, wasn’t this the thread you were hyping up Eric Konkol in? How’d LA Tech look this year?

Well, given that he ignored you this was more or less yelled out into the void.

No, he wanted me to get banned on the spot for gumming up the thread or some BS. He just isn’t mature enough to handle criticism of his highly suspect analysis.

People have piled on me for my crap takes many times and I’ve never reacted in such a whiny way.
