#UConn AD Warde Manuel on a 10-day tour on China sponsored by #NIKE. So don't expect finalization of Geno's new deal for some time.

UConn AD Warde Manuel on a 10-day tour on China .

Look for Cincy to join the ACC.

 

[metsfan2323]

Hopefully a Panda bear tries to mate with him. Warde sure knows how to endear himself to the fan base.

 

[UConnSportsGuy]

Beijing University expansion target? The Big [Far] East Conference!

 

[Kevin Caliendo]

he's obviously trying to find an OOC opponent for 2014....

 

[ZooCougar]

Useless.

 

[RioDog]

Easy fellas, he´s really a secret agent monitoring the Chi-Coms for Obama.

'Ward´s a man who leads a life of danger...'
To every conference change he is a stranger...
With every move they make, he monitors a steak
Odds are we won´t live see tommorow.

Se-cret AD Man, Secret AD Man
Well UConn's days are numbered
And we don't know his plan...

(twangy guitar solo)

 

[Adios]

Our AD is truly a rock star... Sponsored by Nike!

 

[uconNYC]

In his first year he went to Germany, USVI, IMG Conference, China...good to know UConn athletics is still relevant to some.

 

[Fishy]

Honestly, some of you just should not read the internet ever.

It's too much information and you have too much trouble trying to get your heads around it. Ditto for the dopey chick hoops writer.

Our AD is going on a trip with one of our largest corporate benefactors.

Why? I dunno, but you generally accommodate such people and the last I heard, China has telephones and computers and internets and all sorts of stuff that makes it easy to contact the rest of the world - even Connecticut!

I just hope that Geno doesn't get mad and start looking around at better jobs like....ah, you know, whatever jobs are better than UConn in women's hoops. Those jobs!

 

[Waquoit]

In his first year he went to Germany, USVI, IMG Conference, China...

But not Charlotte. Livin' the dream!

Warde Bad! No Like Warde! Warde Do Stuff! Stuff Warde Do Bad! No Like Stuff Warde Do!

 

[dante]

this guy is a freaking joke... is infuriating how little this guy cares. We lost our hockey coach, we need new assistants screwing around on Geno's contract. This clown does know that Geno's women program brings in a lot of revenue at around 10-11 million, Boise St football revenue is around 12 million. Get your priorities straight Ward.

 

[Fishy]

Are you really dumb enough to think that Geno's contract is at some sort of cliffhanging impasse that requires our athletic director to sit and stare at one particular phone just in case it rings?

Honestly, the chick hoops guy is a dolt, but you're a garden-variety moron if you actually think that's the case.

Come on, a lot of you are going to have to do a better job of faking some level of sophistication if this whole message board idea is to succeed.

Beijing University expansion target? The Big [Far] East Conference!

Warde is not looking for a Conference....he's thinking BIGGER......prepare to members of....

The Big East DYNASTY

SU.......Sanming University Orangemen
GU......Guangxi University Hoya
SJU.....Sun Jiang University Redmen (old school!)
BCU....Beijing City University Eagles
SH.......Shanghai University Pirates
RU......Renmin University Knights (already claims to have the Beijing market)
Put......Putian University Panthers
PC.......Providence College Friars (actually already yr 2 in this league and still losing)

You throw in Wudan University Green Wave for their academics, and I'm sold...

 

[Fishy]

No, no, no.

If you invite Wudan, half of the other schools will leave.

 

[UConnDan97]

My apologies on the spelling. I meant to type "Fudan", not Wudan (Fishy's joke still works). My apologies to the Fudan Green Wave, but again why would UConn associate themselves with the Fudan Green....oh crap...too late....

I totally agree. If I was the AD of a program that is a member of a dying conference with no t.v. deal...I would certainly shun the one top-flight company that pays my program millions to wear their apparel and grow our brand. This guy must be stopped at once!!!

 

[dante]

Yes I'm dumb because all this guy does is tour with the mens and womens program, acting like he's some type of mogul or some genius in business management who has everything under control? What has he done to better UConn athletics? NOT A DAMN THING!

Upgrade UConn to Hockey East.

Boom.

There's one.

 

[UCFBfan]

He's gonna be at the BCS title game tonight to accept a big check for the UConn Sandy Hook Scholarship. Does his China trip start tomorrow??

As long as we get new jerseys he can go wherever Nike takes him.

... I do not understand why a Big East AD would go to China period, let alone during a school year.. I do not understand. Have I missed something somewhere.
