Oh good, now it's a 5 year plan. Next year is year 4. Does that mean we will get another 2014 season in 2017? If so, there is zero incentive to buy tickets.

C'mon D - get off the ledge. Maybe he's just talking personally - He red-shirted this year, he has 4 more years left to play. (5 year plan).

If you were a billionaire, minimum wage would be $295,000 an hour, Diaco would be making $3.25 billion a year and his buyout would be $45 billion.

At that rate, I guess same applies to you! :p

Our leadership absolutely sucks. I'm physically ill over what they have done to the legacy of what Calhoun and Auriemma built. I'm done.

Ding ding ding....we have total clowns running UConn through and through. Each one has a bevy of problem inheritance excuses... they are all mentally stuck in neutral. They have no money but are spending like drunken sailors on facilities. Its all about buildings instead of building the school's national presence.
 
Any given game can be won by either being better or being smarter. Being better and dumber by a wide margin is what we are stuck with.

Saw this in Forde's Yahoo article today (Forde-Yard Dash: Why LSU hired the wrong guy):

At Cincinnati (8) there could be a $900,000 reason why Tommy Tuberville hasn’t yet been pushed into retirement. A contract extension he agreed to earlier this year calls for a $2.4 million buyout before Dec. 7. On that date, the buyout drops to $1.5 million. At a non-power-five school, that’s not chump change.

This may have been covered before, but why is Diaco's buyout so high? This was a recent extension with no where near the buyout numbers that we have with Diaco. :mad:

The realistic chances of Tuberville leaving for another job were he to have a few great seasons at UC were very low given his age. Diaco in the same spot would be far more attractive to other schools since he has more prime years remaining.

And a guy who had coached at two P5 schools and done pretty well. We have a guy with no prior HC experience or track record getting what, double the buyout numbers that Tuberville's contract calls for?

Our administration makes contract decisions as if they're using "Monopoly" money. We just landed on Boardwalk with a hotel on that beachfront property.

I guess Cincinnati has run out of the Big East exit fee money just like we have. They must have spent too much of it flying their president all over the country shilling for a B12 invite.

That makes no sense. That would be why Bob's buyout to leave would be higher - not why UConn pays more to shoot him into the sun.

What? You're saying a guy with no prior HC experience or track record would be twice as valuable as a guy with Auburn and Texas Tech on his resume, with success at the P5 level? I don't care how much older he is, that's completely crazy. Paterno coached until he was almost 90, and Snyder is still going at K State.

This should be the other way around. Tuberville should be twice as valuable as Diablo, even factoring in present year results. Tuberville obviously had a lousy agent compared with Bobby's.
 
Cinci only has to wait a week to save the money. Even if you had money why wouldn't you wait. It's not like you can't start looking and a lot of candidates are still coaching games.
 
Boneyard is Wikileaks to our AD.
They want this info and pub to fade away yesterday.

Sorry, I misread the question the guy asked. You're right that would apply to Diaco's buyout if he left.

Bob's buyout to pay if he leaves was ridiculous as well (low). They got beaten to death in that negotiation.
