While that may be true, the opposition we get about our football from the p5 conferences is also fueled by paying our head coach 1 million dollars.

While we used our finances as a reason, that now comes into question with this huge new contract for Dan Hurley.

You can't compare Mora to Hurley. Hurley just won a NC and has been here for 5 years now, building up the program.

Mora did a great job turning the program around in year 1 and if he continues to perform, he'll get his raise in due time.

Nobody compared Mora to Hurley

And if you did, Mora would be 20% of Hurley salary wise.

This is about what you should be paying ANY football head coach salary wise in a p5 conference.

That is, if you are aspiring to be in a p5, which is where we assume UConn wants to land.

Don't think these conferences are not watching this.

 

[Bongo Fury]

Are you Mora’s agent? It is not a matter of being able. I believe BD was paid pretty well?

I'd stay up to watch that announcement.

The cat has to be out of the bag now, right?

He wouldn't screw around on us like this otherwise

You would think this is showing confidence. I won’t believe it until it is official. Been let down too many times.

Years back I lost a ton of credibility on this forum (assuming I ever had any of course!) when I relayed information from a discussion I had with warde. Turns out he was blowing smoke and I naively posted it here. So while I still believe (great Frank Turner song btw) gonna wait for official confirmation this time And of course. Rule #1

Come on guys. You have to actually look at the tweet. Benedict didn't post this. He retweeted. Who is "Coach Nicholas"? He's the Assistant Coach of St. John's women's basketball team. So, is Benedict giving us a secret nod through the assistant coach of a Big East team? Seems like this has nothing to do with realignment.

Imagine if Benedict retweeted "Packing our bags for the trip we've been waiting for." We'd be fired up only to find out it was just a retweet of a friend's tweet who is going to Australia with his family.

Yes, yes he is. We're headed to B10, though.

Unexpectedly.

Idk what info you specifically posted, but is it possible Warde was just telling you that he was headed to the big 10 and you misheard him

Nope. No chance at all

FWIW when things were going down with that both Susan Herbst and Warde Manuel were told by ACC contacts that there was nothing to worry about. Within a couple of days we were out and Louisville was in.

I recall how pumped I was after reading your post. Not on you, you just repeated what you heard. This time, lots of tea leaves for the good guys.

I vaguely remember this, but weren't you tight or neighbors with the Edsall's? Feel like someone here was.

Rule 1, guys. Rule 1.

 

[Jimdish255]

Paying 1 coach $1M more than the school makes annually from their conference/media deal seems… not great. Something’s gotta give

The guy who said he'd rather eat glass than go to the Big 12 is complaining about retaining our NC Coach. Is there some cognitive dissonance going on here or are you just having a bad day/week/month?

What does this have to do with diaco? Get off of it. Football is not comparable to basketball no matter how hard the basketball side tries to rationalize things

In my time here, and while I talk a lot I don't live on here, you seem to be have been one of the saner types... or my head doesnt have you in the nutter pile . But yeah, rumor mills do that. Stuffs going to happen

Exactly. Unless it is explicitly and officially stated I am not believing any of it.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Have you seen the salary for our football coach?

I have no doubt with another good season, Mora will be paid. I think AD Dave is thinking that right now.

Dan Hurley's team sells out the building they play in so he earns more money. When football sells out the building they play in then the football coach will get a raise.

If we start selling out a 40,000 seat stadium every game . Then I suspect Mora will get something named after him .

LOL. You say that as if 90% of the tweets are any less BS than posters here speculating. Unfortunately, they’re not.

Huh. I hadn't checked out this thread for awhile and I now see that we are debating whether or not a P5 invite is a done deal. Sheesh!!!

You can drive yourself nuts trying to read the tea leaves and harbingers in the wind. Interpret this little thing and that little thing in a way that foreshadows the outcome that you (we) so desperately want. Figuring out the ways that UConn can get screwed. What the hell is the Pac12 waiting for? Don't they know UConn has a lot hanging on this? Is SDSU going to the Pac12 or the B12? What the hell is Colorado waiting for? Is academic reputation playing a part? Is Mora gonna get a raise too if it happens? What will happen to UConn's portal interest if it does happen?

I think we all need a double dose of Rule Number 1 at this point in case this does not turn out favorably. We need to manage expectations so that no one dies of heartbreak or grief in the final event.

The Pac12 is probably trying to get its act together. Their tv deal is probably dependent on keeping Colorado, Arizona, ASU. Not to mention Washington and Oregon, who would be out the door if the B1G opened the gate. That also impacts the Big 12. We'll have to wait.

Not too worried about the potential heartbreak issues, there's always cardioversion, etc.

I think the next big event is the PAC 12 media deal. We all are waiting for it to be announced before realignment starts again.

If the B12 really wants UConn, they should just invite UConn on its own. I guess inviting multiple teams at the same time is more splashy vs. just inviting one school. Let's hope that's what the B12 is waiting for.
