Message: [QUOTE="Jetskies, post: 5078716, member: 12253"] the point is cheering for your school! :) I want UConn to go all the way to the CFP and win it all, of course. the guys cashing checks cash them because everyone else cashes those checks. That is what you pay people to do this work, at this [B][I]desired[/I][/B] level. Are you saying DB is doing a crap job and deserves to make much less than equivalent AD's? Are you saying JM (who already makes not competitive money for his experience) should make mid-level FCS coach money for doing FBS work? I agree that systemically speaking, these checks are big (maybe too big for what this is ultimately) - that's another topic altogether. But uconn FB/BB salaries are obv not a bubble, it's relative to the market. I know you know this, so apologies if the tone seems condescending - not the intent at all Duke is not good, I agree. But they're also not a floor mop and will probably have a respectable, if not bowl-worthy season this year, given they're 3-0 already. That's exactly my point. We are on the cusp of being a respectable FBS program without the conference support a duke/BC/rutgers/Syracuse gets (our peers; never gonna compare us to michigan or bama). I'm gonna celebrate what I can. [/QUOTE]
