Message: [QUOTE="RSTuthill, post: 4750810, member: 7322"] We have seen posts here recently to the effect: "That is what we are, a basketball school." As long as that attitude prevails, the under investment in the FB program, most recently due to the BB program incurred liabilities regarding their previous men's coach, is going to continue. When you compare salaries of the basketball coaching staff to those of the football coaching staff, go back to when Hurley first came here, when UConn was a very mediocre BB program. How much did UConn pay Hurley to get him here and add to that the severance paid to his predecessor. (That severance amount must be booked to the cost of the Hurley acquisition as a cost of business, after all.) If UConn is not willing to lay out those kinds of dollars for FB, a sport that is three times as important as BB in the eyes of the TV market, then UConn does not want to play at the FBS P-whatever level. It is just that simple. Dress for the job you want, not the one that you've got. Oh, and someone posted that #3 might happen sooner than we think. I am beginning the come around to that view. [/QUOTE]
