Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 3202577, member: 10"] Hurley said that there was no talk about the Big East when he was hired and he didn't even know the last few weeks that UConn was talking to the Big East. He found out the same way we did (I think I saw that in the Andy Katz podcast). [I]“My first question when I met with President [Susan] Herbst and [athletic director] Dave Benedict was about the conference situation,” Hurley said, “because from the outside it doesn’t seem like a great fit, UConn and the AAC. But I took the job under the assumption that I was going to coach in the AAC.” “I didn’t get any type of tip-off that this was coming,” Hurley said, after the press conference broke up. “This was like a Christmas surprise.”[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-mens-basketball/hc-sp-uconn-men-big-east-20190628-20190627-nsseqqi7prd3xki2z6piofid6i-story.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
