Message: [QUOTE="xoxxox, post: 2002605, member: 5728"] I assume that in reality, Geno is a wealthy individual, who could probably coach for free and not see a drastic change in his financial status. However, this is America. We worship one GOD above all others – THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR. It is the dollar that we use to indicate superiority. For coaches of any major sport in America, it is their salary that is a direct indication of their value to team, fans, city, and state they coach in. Geno has said repeatably, that he understands the basic economic principles that make men's college basketball, superior, within the context of its financial benefit to its educational institution, then that of the woman's game, which for all schools, including UCONN, is a financial losing proposition. That is the sad fact of the college woman's game in America today. No offense to you Kevin Ollie fans, but there is no way in this world that he and the now deteriorating mens basketball program at UCONN is worth more then Geno and the woman's game. What UCONN pays Geno is a total INSULT to a man who will be a sports HISTORICAL FIGURE. A man who took as third-rate university with one of the worst woman's basketball programs in America and transformed it into a program that actually operates in a different realm of existence from every other woman's basketball program in America; and along the way was a force that help transformed the university itself into an institution of educational excellence. A man who has changed the very nature of the entire woman's college basketball landscape in America. Of course the University will tell you that the foundation of the men's and woman's programs have very different intrinsic values, especially within the financial realm that simple does not allow the University to have the funds to pay Geno what he is really worth. Geno, would probably agree. However, Geno goes beyond the University. He glorifies the entire State of Connecticut. He is Connecticut. He is the most popular human in the state. The UCONN Woman's Basketball Team is the face of the entire state; its greatest ambassador. He will be forever glorified and revered as long as Connecticut exist. So, citizens of Connecticut, it is time for you, through the legislative process, to pass a bill that authorizes the state to pay this extra-ordinary human-being a salary that honers his greatness and his contributions to the state itself. Geno should be paid one million dollars per year for each national championship he produces. That means, he would be making a base salary of eleven million dollars this year. He still may get another five or more before he retires. My humble opinion. [/QUOTE]
