UConn means something. This is how Dan Hurley made it matter again

Regarding The Athlietic, no thanks.
  • There are too many things I am required to pay for already
  • I went to the site a few times and it jacked up my browser each time
  • very first paragraph suggests michigan state is a blue blood?
  • $1.99/month for 12 months, $7.99/month thereafter
  • Unless Tom can get a Boneyarder/The Athletic combo sub

Your third point is extreme nitpicking. A stray curious comment in an otherwise excellent article.

The Athletic is top notch and well-priced. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

One of the worst decisions in the early internet days was the over-reliance on the advertising model, which led to the devaluation of print media and the proliferation of clickbait articles (do it for the engagement!).

The fact that we're arguing that $2/mo. is "not worth it" for good journalism is kinda crazy IMO. Even at $79, it's like a Starbucks coffee each month. People used to pay for multiple newspaper subscriptions at a higher cost than this.
 
From the article, not sure if this is based on new or old information:

"Sophomore forward Samson Johnson has pro upside, but has spent the season dealing with a foot injury. He’s slated to return in roughly two weeks, bringing some needed defense and rebounding."

That would be Jan 25 against Xavier, a game where his presence would be particularly valuable. If we could sneak him in on Jan 22 vs. Butler first that would be nice.

Good article. Nice job embedding with team and Hurley. The Athletic does some good work.

So sad, a 20 years ago that would have been an SI feature story. Right now, in current media landscape, Athletic is only outlet that can even attempt that story.
