AM RT: Why the @Big12Conference flipped and ranking the expansion candidates: 1, BYU; 2, UConn …

Dave R. ‏@CT_Goonie · 34m34 minutes ago
@dennisdoddcbs do you think this might spark some action by the ACC to take Uconn before it's too late?

Dennis Dodd‏@dennisdoddcbs
@CT_Goonie Too late for what? I think I just saw ACC lock up Notre Dame (and everyone else) for the next 20 years. Why does it need UConn?

Dave R. ‏@CT_Goonie · 25m25 minutes ago
@dennisdoddcbs ACC network will not get same carriage fees as B1G in NYC. They could use more easy coast markets no?

Dennis Dodd ‏@dennisdoddcbs · 23m23 minutes ago
@CT_Goonie Actually, no one gets the carriage fees of the B1G Net. Don’t know if you’ve noticed but UConn is front and center for the B12.

Dodds seems like an angry man in that last tweet...a man who knows what is coming and doesn't agree with it one bit! He almost seems like he was told what the outcome will by his UT sources and that he needed to start changing his tune.

He's an arrogant @ss. I can understand a guy thinking he's the smartest guy in the room when it's deserved. In his case, it never is . . .

He really isn't. I think it was a fair question. Calhoun saying that he "needs to retire some day" seems to be the arrogant statement of the clip to me. We were in the depths of a financial catastrophe and he suggested that Calhoun, like everyone else, ought to consider a pay cut.
 
I get that this is an old can of worms to open up and the type of thing that we'll have to just agree to disagree on. Not trying to start another not a dime back conversation haha.

If you come at the King, you best not miss.

Ken missed by a mile.

How did he miss, exactly? Because Calhoun yelled over him? Just because we're UConn fans doesn't mean that we have to say Calhoun is a great guy. Go ask Geno...

Anyone who has a clue about how coaches are paid, knows the state only pays a small portion of the coaches salary, in comparison to what he actually gets paid. Ken obviously didn't know and that's what made him look bad.

I like UConn bball, but Calhoun is pretty much a confirmed ass and Ken is a friend, so I'm not gonna concede that one

Questioning a college basketball coach after a game about his salary, especially one of Calhoun's stature, is poor form.

Calhoun blew up and I think he had every right to do so. Your comment regarding how everyone should be willing to give back some of their salary in tough times is pretty ridiculously idealistic.

We know Calhoun can be a dick, and he acted like an ass, but Ken was wrong on the merits (particularly the elements of compensation in Calhoun's contract). My bigger point is about Krayeske himself. I find him obnoxious and not nearly as sophisticated as he thinks he is.

Based on your comments earlier on the basketball board and these comments, you are officially the dumbest person on the boneyard.

Exactly. I was in the room when it happened. Ken was the first question asked of the press conference.

He not only went right after Calhoun, but he effed over every reporter in the room who was just trying to do their job.

He literally took a direct shot at Calhoun and Calhoun buried him for it and rightfully so.

I'm not passing judgement on Ken as a person or even questioning whether it was a valid question, I'm saying that given the setting and the nature of his question it was very clearly an an attempted ambush of Calhoun.
 
WTF IS GOING ON. BIG 12 IS FINALLY EXPANDING, I CLICK ON KEY TWEETS AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT KEN FREAKING KRAYESKE AND SHIZ THAT HAPPENED LIKE A DECADE AGO. PULL IT TOGETHER, IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE FISHY SPIRIT
