I would have smacked that reporter upside the head. |

umm, sampson's contract was pretty vague, and going by precedent set by jim o'brien at Ohio State, universities have to watch their step when firing coaches. if the certain donor wouldn't have made the donation, i'm certain that IU still would have fired sampson; but his little parting gift made sure he wouldn't open his mouth. |

yeah, but calhoun was out of line for telling the reporter to shutup. He shone a negative light on the University for that. |

I heard the "reporter" obtained a pass illegally anyways. Then he asks about the economy at a press conference after a game? The University should be ashamed that they let an idiot like that into the press conference after the game. I'm sure that University does wonders for the state of Connecticut. And as I'm sure UCONN's athletic department is self-sufficient and run on donations, Calhoun's salary is paid for by people who know what they are donating their money to, unlike giving it to the government. Fuck that idiot. /Rant. |

The governor overseeing a giant budget deficit calling out the basketball coach of the public university. Brilliant. |

It wasn't a assumption; it was an opinion. I just know what I would do (I donate to my school by the way). The whole argument is kinda a mute point considering it only takes one rich MFer to think it's worth the money. |

He also makes a really good point about the revenue he brings in for the school. (And who pays him for that matter) |

yeah, the point he makes about revenue is pretty good -- it's just the way he handles himself the whole time, there are a lot better ways to go about dealing with that. |

I'd say the same thing about the guy who fabricated his profession, lied to get his way into the press conference, and then jumped in when not called on to get his question asked. Fucking idiot. |

Calhoun is the highest paid state employee in Conneticut. It is a very valid question, just asked at the wrong time. Should a state school be paying 1.6 million of taxpayers dollars to pay a basketball coach? All other state employees are faced with possible lay-offs or pay cuts..........it is a valid question. |
