OT: Yale’s James Jones Signs Extension

[Hey Adrien!]

He’s been a hot commodity the last few off seasons. Hopefully this keeps him at the helm for the rest of this decade.

So much money that it took them a decade to realize 40mil was disappearing under their nose

$40 MILLION?

How stupid are people?

At the time of her guilty pleas, she was in possession of two Mercedes-Benz vehicles, two Cadillac Escalades, a Dodge Charger and a Range Rover.

$40 million $10k at a time, so over 4,000 transactions. Even over 10 years, that's like 8 $10k electronics purchases per week that she was stealing lol. Pretty staggering.

James Jones is a great coach. Kinda surprised he hasn't gone to a bigger job yet but can't say I'm disappointed as someone who follows Yale MBB pretty closely.

The most shocking thing in that tweet is seeing 2030 and realizing it's only 8 years away.
