UConn has become the poster child for basketball factories that have no regard for academics. Don't waste your time denying the accuracy of such a label (I think it's bogus), percepetion has become reality. It's everywhere. I am not convinced that JC is ready to deal with the situation. This team is ready to explode on the scene, but after every great game or winning streak there will be that but...what about your graduation rate? Why are you the only...yadda,yadda..?
The situation calls for education and enlightening, not a "not one dime"-style meltdown. JC should use every opportuinity to turn the question around. Kids do their own work at UConn, etc. Is JC getting some handling, some counceling on how to approach this? Or is he going to handle this stuff "his way." Now that we have his hand-picked AD on the job, will ADPP be able to approach JC about this?
