Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 2782248, member: 1414"] Interesting. I’m not sure what you’re extrapolating from that. It had nothing to do with Kevin. In a system of true amateur athletics, UConn’s whole AD budget might be a million dollars. Maybe. All travel would be by bus, to local opponents and pretty much nothing would be televised. Think, the early 1950s, although that may be too recent. You seem to be railing against the world of big time college athletics as a business, while at the same time advocating for a guy who did a bad job to be paid vast amounts of money that can only be generated by the system you want to change. There is no world in which your vision can occur. The cut-throat big business aspect of college sports is what allowed Kevin to make nearly $12m as a HC at a state run university. That same aspect is what is driving UConn to fire him for cause and avoid paying him more. [/QUOTE]
