Interesting. We only keep one player, anyone drafted 5th rd or later. I kept JD Martinez from last year.

well he hasn't deleted his RT of his NHR piece from yesterday (the 19th) that said UConn was pushing to get it done...

I fairly certain you have not donated more than state taxpayers have paid - and the UConn Senate University Budget Committee (SUBC) says as much.
https://senate.uconn.edu/wp-content...Senate-UBC-Report-on-AD-Subsidy-to-Senate.pdf

On the whole the UConn athletic department is now heavily subsidized. If your aren't familiar with public budgeting terminology, in this case "subsidy" means State appropriations to UConn. ANd for the record, this doesn't even account for capital expenditure (like the Gample roof). ;)

- Between 2005 and 2017, expenditures for the AD grew 70% from $47 million to $80 million.
- During this same period, despite numerous high-profile achievements in women’s and men’s basketball, earned revenues increased by less than 10%.
- Fairly stagnant revenues meant that most (83%) of the $33 million increase in the Athletics budget has been subsidized by UConn; an additional $8.3 million comes from mandatory student fees.
- The subsidy has increased by a factor of almost nine from $3.5 million in 2005 to an estimated $31 million in 2017.
- The extent to which the AD budget is subsidized grew from 7.3% in 2005 to 38.6% in 2017.

- Only one of UConn’s sports teams—men’s basketball—receives sufficient direct revenues to cover its costs.
- Despite the outstanding achievements made by the women’s basketball team during the period of analysis, the low revenues for women’s sports compared to men’s, resulted in the team being subsidized.
- UConn’s football team was the team with the largest deficit in absolute dollar terms, requiring a subsidy of $7.5 million for 2014.​

Yeah, maybe you missed it. I don't donate to football and don't really care about UConn football until such time as they can be nationally relevant for more than 5 minutes. I donate to Uconn basketball and, again, MY donations have funded UConn basketball infinitely more than YOUR taxes. Not all of the state of CT's taxes - YOUR taxes. Go do the math. I'll wait.

The article he wrote is still there: UConn men pushing hard to hire Hurley

He probably took it down because of his later clarification tweet, which contains the original info from the first tweet as well as a second source of info:
Jeff Jacobs‏ @jeffjacobs123 Mar 19
Update: While one source says UConn is close to signing Dan Hurley, a second said the school is pushing hard to complete a deal and Pittsburgh is still in the picture. Hurley is definitely UConn's No. 1 target and there is strong mutual interest.

To be honest, I'm not even checking this thread for Hurley info at this point. I just want to get to the bottom of this taxation vs. donation issue. Enthralling!
