Reading these back and forth diatribes on Herbst reminds me of the lunacy of arguing against minds made up. So let's have fun and speculate on which conference UConn would be in had she been hired in 2007 instead of Hogan. She would likely have fired Hathaway (on grounds of the clear incompetence she saw immediately --as she did with our Provost) way before the academic issues surfaced. She then wouldn't have had to to placate the NCAA and hire WM to salve our APR wounds. Bring in Herbst and Benedict in 2007 and I submit we would be in a P-5 now. Edsall likely would have stayed, Calhoun's replacement hire would have been better managed. We squandered loads of athletic capital built over the years.

Now, as you ponder that exercise chew again, this time slower, on this tidbit from the article Whaler posted: 
"Tiny New Canaan (population 20,000) throws off more income-tax revenues than New Haven, Waterbury, and Hartford combined." Since high taxes heading even higher will cause those who pay them to reconsider their address, we see where the problems really lie, and it ain't with SH.
