The Liberal Media Attacks!........ State Schools?!?!

[El Kabong]

I don't care personally (as an Alabama fan I could care less how much they pay Nick Saban, it brings a shitload of money in although technically in Saban and Calhoun's case the money comes from the state and goes to the school, not necessarily back to the state specifically but still who cares) but LOL at this being the "liberal media"

Who else would cause such a fuss over something that MAKES money for the school?

You just need to find yourself a conservative or right wing news outlet Lyle. I'm sure they can't be that hard to find. We have them in canada. One is called The National Post.

Trainer my main point here.....did Jim Calhoun personally do anything to create or exacerbate the economic situation in Connecticut?

Jim Calhoun doesn't make laws, Jim Calhoun doesn't write legislation, and Jim Calhoun doesn't spend all the State's money.....all Jim is trying to do is to go out and achieve just like me or you.... if you believed in Capitalism

Jim Calhoun is a victim of wanting too much for himself...sure he's worked hard and deserves big money for winning 2 national championships during his tenure at UConn but apparently wanting to be paid on a level that other coaches are paid is just too much for this dude to handle.

If Ken Krayeske isn't a liberal what the hell is he? And he was (correct me if I am wrong) at a PRESS CONFERENCE....so that would make him the LIBERAL MEDIA.

Again,it isnt the dreaded "liberal media" its a Ucon student,you know the university where Calhoun coaches,who has a website.

Call it what you want but the guy was at a PRESS CONFERENCE.....you know an event that reporters go to and ask questions of someone.....some might call it a MEDIA EVENT some of which might even require a PRESS PASS and I am betting this would be one of those events

Lyle I hate to break it to you,but the notoriously non-liberal Wip 0610 Sports radio could probably tell you what John Cheney made every single year he coached at Temple. It wasnt exactly an unreasonable question from a student.
If Conneticut wasnt the absolute hinterlands for anything but college sports,everybody would have allready known what he makes
And just about any dope can get a press pass for a college coaches press conference if they can talk fast enough

[El Kabong]

OK so you are basing your argument on this guy Krayeske not being a member of the media? Maybe it is a reasonable question from a student but it was an improper time to ask it and Krayeske didn't take into account #1 the money that (men AND women's) basketball makes for the school and #2 If Jim Calhoun is making such great money then he's more than likely forking over a great deal of it to the State and Federal Government via taxes.

Kirkland you bring up a good point, I wonder why the LIBERAL MEDIA ignoring how the LIBERAL government is handing out billions in welfare to keep companies afloat
