Let's say this goes south for Kennedy at CU (I ultimately don't think it will). I guess they hand the keys over to DiLorenzo on July 1st and start looking?
If the CU Board of Regents actually backpedals due to the Facebook and Twitter echo-chambers, I'm beyond embarrassed for all involved, and frankly even more fearful for where we are headed as a country.
The Charles Kupchella, Robert Kelley, Bubba Schweigert, Brian Jones kind of stability is the last thing needed right now.
I'm all for the Thomas Clifford, Dave Gunther, Rich Glas, Dale Lennon variety of stability.
If the crystal ball says Shirley has that kind of upside, hire him yesterday. That will be for the committee to decide, as I too think the Kennedy ship has sailed regardless.
I'm only aware of one, there are surely others based on feedback here. In the case of KEM, I prefer the term "activist investor", versus major donor, because that's what we're really talking about here.

The Herald refuses to report it correctly. "The" finalist, not "a" finalist. Big difference.
This could go very very well or very very poorly:
Kucherov (TBL), Point (TBL), Backstrom (WSH), Ovechkin (WSH), Marchessault (VGK), Johansen (NSH)
Carlson (WSH), McDonagh (TBL), Ekholm (NSH), Theodore (VGK)
Barnes staying in Knoxville. Has UCLA become the Nebraska football of college hoops? Is Alford their Frank Solich?
EDIT: It's actually Ben Howland playing the part of Solich, getting run out of Westwood after four Pac-12 titles and three Final Fours.
From wrong end of the biggest tournament upset to national champions in a year, congrats to Virginia. Hunter was better than Culver when the chips were down and that was the difference.
The matte grey would be a good look, but no interlocking ND to go with it. The current matte green with the Sesame Street number font on one side is atrocious.
