Agreed. Geno is the goat of womens basketball but he also hasn’t won a national championship since 2016, longest stretch of his career since winning his first. Hurley deserves to be compensated like Geno commensurate to his success in the men’s game.
So you want Hurley to take a pay cut? Probably bad timing to float that idea.
And pay 40 mill for a hockey facility ya they got the money.
Hey let us not forget that a little over a year ago or so there were gebonzoes here who wanted Hurley fired. So hatred and crapping on teams, coaches, AD’s ( albeit some ADs deserve it) is part of our culture. It’s a Connecticut thing.
Not what I said. Geno was just made highest paid womens cbb coach, no? Hurley should be made the same in men’s cbb, proportional to the price tag in the men’s game.
You are my favorite poster on this board, I’ve decided
What’s he replying to? This seems like a hypothetical - obviously ESPN has not reported yet
Do I think Danny’s camp pushed UConn to negotiate with Geno…no I don’t.
I don't think there's an arbitrary cap, a realistic one maybe. Where does everybody think the money is going to come from? They just jacked up ticket prices last year and mostly everyone went ballistic. It seems everyone is waiting for the magic donor.
Arkansas fans are the worst.
Like I needed another reason not to shop at Walmart lol.
Wrong. It’s really $6m a year after tax. Let’s say he doesn’t spend and of it and has $60 m in 10 years. At +/- 7%. After tax that’s +/- $2.2m a year. Him and his wife, their kids and grands kids all have to live on that.
“Struggling to Even make Hurley the 3rd highest paid…” bold attempt to minimize
This is true, but there's also something to be said that his staff are stale retreads and not at the cutting edge of the sport.
Isn’t Arkansas being bankrolled by Tyson chicken even with all that SEC money? Is there no one in CT that can step up?
Connecticut is so business friendly. I am sure there are hundreds.
Arkansas is spending good money after bad since hiring Cal
Again, it was great having that as a goal. Last season we had 2 top 10 NBA picks, 2 other returning NC starters and an experienced transfer. We can have it as a goal again but have you been asleep the last few days. It is a jump ball if our head coach is returning. So that is an example of how everything needs to fall in place and how difficult it is.
If injuries have been consistently such a big issue for UConn WBB, at some point one has to ask is injury history part of our recruiting evaluation, is our conditioning program adequate and do we work them too hard in practice?
