Not going to apologize for Edsall here BUT, he is still under contract with the university and probably can't say anything until his contract is done. Hopefully one day he will open up about it, but I don't think he will.
No way he does..
RE preached integrity and put out a good message but like many coaches is too much of a narcissist.
Maybe he will....but I doubt it. And if he does, I doubt he will take accountability. He didn't take accountability for how he left the first time until he had to when he came back. If he didn't come back he never would have acknowledged his selfish exit.
His buddy Orlovsky has really turned me off.
Except for the part about Calhoun and the NCAA violations. UConn's issues barely qualify as jaywalking compared to what Louisville has faced, not to mention UNC, KU, Baylor, and others.
The infractions Calhoun had under his watch was nothing comparing to the gangster hood that was Louisville.
Yeah, much respect and very unexpected coming from him.
I probably am misremembering....but I never thought of Diaco as a liar. Just a used car salesman. Always a spin.
BCU and Pitt were always marginal athletic departments (a few up years, but nothing really notable). I think the only surprising one is Cuse.
I couldn't agree with you more. The sad thing is that all they have to do is threaten to pick up and move and they will be able to milk the state again.
And I agree regarding BCU, especially. Pitt was having a good run though, not national championship good, but they were a decent team. Now, not so much.
I hope not. If it is publicly known that they are asking for more relief, every Connecticut fan should be on the phone to their state legislator telling them that a vote for taxpayer money going to ESPN will mean a vote for whoever runs against them. I’m serious. They’ve cost Connecticut taxpayers, minimally, $35 million a year since 2013. Do the math. It’s $280 million that would have otherwise come into the athletic department. Since the state subsidizes the school, that’s money out of Connecticut taxpayers pockets. ESPN should never see another dollar of taxpayer money until Connecticut is in the P5. ESPN could make that happen with a phone call.
Except this football season where Pitt leads its division...
"No comment" would have satisfied the requirement of a non-disparagement clause.
Is it me, or is this a really dumb comment by Toscano? In the middle of a positive PR that changes the narrative that you can football is on the clock, why release the statement? I suspect that the ESPN reporter may have been sitting on that quote for a while. Just a hunch.
Just so we are talking about the same Pitt, you mean the one that lost to Western Michigan, right? And Miami? They are leading their division in a remarkably weak ACC. This is like one of those seasons when Illinois wins the Big 10. They are pretty good but everyone else is having an off year.
Isn't that what I said in first sentence? It doesn't match the sequencing...
