you STFU

You're nothing but a sour person.  A Connecticut curmudgeon.

The key here is Northeastern, as touched on above.  They are a wealthy resource rich University that has never put any money into athletics.  In any sport.  Gbandi has a major University and one of the finest facilities in the US and a ready attendance - despite years of woeful performance by Ray.  A little bit of marketing ... maybe announcing recruits well in advance of first day of camp; things that I believe Reid could care less about.

If you are gonna whine about Benedict hires - in spite of obvious contra logic - I am gonna pushback.  This AD/AD is in a good place.  We can be certain, given who DB is, he understands the UCONN Soccer legacy (including 2 past coaches with NC) and wants a program of excellence.  I can assure my fellow BY that Benedict would interview and network and think this hire extensively; one he certainly knew about for months.  This is not a knee jerk move and CERTAINLY not one that Ray Reid was allowed to bless.  That's not DB nor UCONN after Ollie.

My favorite sport when I was at UCONN was Men's soccer.  I desperately want us to compete at the highest level.  I will go to games.
