Big budget, great facilities, history and the chance to recreate a blue blood program in your own image with a nice paycheck to boot. To a lot of coaches - that's pretty darn appealing. And there still is a shot we end up in a P5 conference or something along those lines. So while it's not a guarantee, it's worthwhile consideration. I'm just saying - if you've got a really good coach from a mid major and i'm looking at a place where i've got the opportunity to take advantage of the facilities, budget, paycheck, etc that UConn can provide - AND have the chance to move into a P5 conference without having to go anywhere... it's worth considering. NOW, they're not IN a P5. The money isn't boundless or endless. But it's a good deal. We'll get a good coach. All things considered, we're probably the most appealing team in our conference or really any non-P5 situation. So again - I think we've got a good chance to land a good coach that won't be out of here on the first train out of town. [/QUOTE]
