Some quotes from KO

[Hans Sprungfeld]

They're getting better. That mean's by the end of the year, they'll be able to beat Tulsa. Hurray!

It will probably take you longer to learn what an apostrophe is.

Could be sure - expect it to be THIS bad though? Even if you knew they wouldn't have Gilbert (and I don't know why anyone would have EXPECTED to have Gilbert), this is incredibly bad.

I expected to have Gilbert. The Tulsa game was what I expected. ECU was worse than expected. But, I expected the team to struggle this year given the mix of pieces. If you had told me before the season no Gilbert, I would have expected a sub 0.500 season given the schedule.

If there ends up being some bad things - it reflects pretty poorly on UConn right?

To some extent, yes. Is it worth $10 million to UConn to deal with a little negative press? Maybe. Just like it is worth 10mill to Ollie. But it only matters if Ollie doesn't negotiate and make a deal, right? If he does, everyone gets something and no one gets hurt.

Then they watched the program crater while sitting on this knowledge and not acting?

People keep saying this but, really, it is easy to side step this. "We have been investigating these claims for some time. We wanted to be certain of their validity." There. Done.

Everything I've seen and heard (and I know someone with direct first hand knowledge of at least one of the items that is considered so damning) is nothing that is going to get anyone to not take their 10 million dollars.

Are you sure you have heard everything? And why are people hung up on 10mil? Negotiations people! Negotiations......compromise.....

Is it worth 5mil less to make a clean break? Take half and everyone gets to move on.

Half the Boneyard has slipped into some alternative reality.
