Proof?

I'm not discussing where I heard that out in the open, only over PM.

Agreed. No need to PM me either.

He’s been sniffing around for other jobs ever since he got here.

If you are not sniffing around, you are not paying enough attention to your career. In just about any field. Guilty of giving your career a lack of attention for too long and you will end up with just a job rather than a career. Network, network, network.

That's why I knew that Suzie and her hair and make-up dog and pony show was going to bomb in the Big12 presentation with the good-old boys watching. What doesn't fit and Why?????

LOL. The good ole boys didn't even invite Houston. But sure, our problem was Herbst not showing up in a bolo tie and boots.

... or USF. Misogynistic batsards!

I heard the B12 discussion went very well and had they made a choice UConn were well positioned. So I guess that is a disconnect with what others heard.

There’s a difference between that and having a foot and a half out the door.

Vintage Connecticut...only the small minded, parochial, provincial politicians and residents of a New England state would have used "traffic issues" as a reason to build a football stadium 25 miles from a college campus with 16,000 students.

Politicians had a lot to do with that decision and it was a bad decision that we have to live with. I will say the infrastructure would have been addressed and fixed on RT 195 and RT 44 along with RT 32

It was high time to fix all of that eons ago. A narrow, two lane hwy. from I-84 through the entire campus and onward to Willimantic is a vestige of the 1950's. It all remains essentially exactly the same as when I attended UConn in the mid-1970's. It's a total disgrace.

I'm somebody who used to put in dozens of hours, for nothing, preparing UConn basketball content. After the way KO has been treated by the school, I've decided to walk away from the program entirely.

I think her heart is in the right place and I think she's accomplished some great things. But that will be her legacy for me.

Respectfully disagree. FB is a business and the students are secondary. Donors, those in the seat-backs and enclosed areas are the primary marketing targets. They got the land in return for only the naming rights at a location that would maximize the experience for the 10%. Welcome to the real world. Money talks. Why do you think so many BB games are at the XL? Bigger barn, more convenient.
