This a pretty bad look for Memphis. For the commish to say they aren't even being considered lol

He didn't say they aren't being considered. He said he never met with anyone at Memphis and he hasn't been on campus. Maybe he's been doing Zoom calls.

Geno coached multiple Olympic winning teams. Those games were televised worldwide. In Australia, the folks that commented on my UConn shirt knew Geno. I'm sure Alabama college football doesn't have a fraction of the reach.

This is just ignorant. No person in the history of televised sports has remembered the women’s basketball coach of another nations team that’s on TV once every 4 years at most. Stop hyperinflating the reach of women’s basketball.

Let's see. There's the guy who experienced it, and there's the guy who hasn't.

I lived in Australia during an Olympic year. They knew a lot about the Americans.
 
I work around a lot of guys who have nothing more to do but watch TV most of day. It's crazy to me how many think UConn has a female coach. Even some of the ones who have some sense about them. They definitely know Nick Saban. I've ran into a few outside the job that have this same thought. A couple of times I've had someone approach me, knowing I'm a UConn fan, usually around March Madness and say hey, I didn't know they had a man for a coach. That usually devolves into why doesn't he coach in the men's game.
 
Geno has what would I consider one of the best jobs in all of America. Paid a lot and is always going to have a good team. Half the team was injured and they were still top 10.

He crafted it to be such with a lot of dedicated hard work. He's not resting on his laurels and just watching the money roll in.

When I go to the park in the morning with my dogs during the season people talk to me about the women's game from last night all the time. They know all the players the same as people in Connecticut do. I don't believe we can make a blanket statement about where or who is a fan of the men or women's game.

The NBE is sooo much better than the AAC and it breathed new life into the men’s basketball program. But if you believe the university is better off staying there, if given the choice, you’re simply putting near term emotion ahead of everything that should matter most for the long term success of the school.

I doubt Hurley stays if we join the big 12…we will be a northeastern school recruiting in a southern league

That's pretty much a ridiculous statement.

People are acting like we can't schedule northeastern teams in our OOC schedule. We're a national brand in basketball. We can still play against Nova and Providence and St. John's. But we'll also play against Kansas and Baylor, etc. The idea that this would make Hurley run away is crazy...

Such a tired excuse also. He could leave for another job tomorrow or get hit by a bus. Such an important decision cannot be tied to any one individual.

Because being in a conference with the two immediate prior national champions is a bad thing? Or is it that having more money available to support the basketball program is a bad thing? I'm just not sure which one of those are going to make him leave in your hypothetical.

I think his point is if we aren't in the same conference as Seton Hall and PC, Hurley won't view the UConn job as having any value.

Didn't he accept the job when UConn was in the AAC? Surely he's smarter than all this drivel would imply.
 
Right now we have Dan Hurley…right now we have the best team in the country… right now we recruit as good as any team in the country…right now we sell out our venues…i hope that continues if we join the big 12
