Hundreds of thousands? It was more than a hundred million.I also think that Geno wasn't a fan of the retroactive NCAA ban against the men that likely hurt our conference realignment chances.
Emmert is incompetent fool who cost the university hundreds of thousands of dollars while he was here through incompetence, misfeasance or malfeasance and subsequently used his $2M a year job the NCAA to persecute the university that exposed his ineptitude.
From the USA Today expose:
Six years after Mark Emmert left his job at the University of Connecticut, the governor of Connecticut ordered an investigation into a massive construction project on campus that had been ravaged by scandal, including more than $100 million lost because of mismanagement.
To find out where things went wrong, the investigators looked at old papers of Emmert, who once supervised the project as UConn's chancellor. They soon found a bombshell.
Memos from 1998-99 showed that Emmert and two other top UConn officials knew about the construction project's big problems then, but failed to disclose them to the school's board of trustees or the state legislature.
