[NU Sports] GMU

[John A. DeGroat]

It was great seeing U Conn lose.  It is one of the worse basketball 
programs around, that team always has at least one person in trouble 
with the law all the time.  Calhoun was allegedly offered the NU 
basketball coaching job a number of years ago before going to U Conn 
Conn and turned it down because he thought  that the way NU ran it 
program, NU would never be a winner.

I would be interested in what the percentage of U Conn basketball 
players ever graduate. We lived in Connecticut for about 25 years and 
watched that program.  It ain't pretty.
