David Benedict

Nice and easy.

butler on a thursday it might be the most tnt game in existence that has to be a team that might be a true tv game honestly i feel like butler will never play at gamble and every time yukon goes there it will be on a turner network that game just is what it is so we'll we wait to see how they they dole all that stuff out but um and also to see what what gamble is going to look like it looks kind of like the death star now hot balls what are your thoughts on the on the renovations there was a a very detailed 30-minute video from dave benedict last

and i'm glad he did that that was really smart by the way so tip of the cap uh to uh super dave if he's out there uh listening uh i thought that was a very uh smart thing for them to do get out ahead of that because i think that was going to have some real mixed reactions i

wasn't crazy about it i don't i love that he did that i love that he did that and then like two days later on The ESPN affiliate in Hartford gave an interview and he basically said, I don't give a shit what people think it looks like.

Conversations are had in any AD in the country.

like Dave Benedict at the University of Connecticut, would be doing their due diligence and would need to be, and I know he is, that he would be talking to every conference in the country at the FBS level.

That's what you need to be doing, clearly, as I've laid out in numerous discussions.

But where there's smoke, there's fire when it comes to that topic, and I think that that's important to watch moving forward, that aspect.

I just did a UConn football chat with Pete Callen last night, and we are very, very – excited about the direction of the program and the leadership that we have and I think that that's a key as well I think a lot of fans especially UConn fans have a lot of disdain for the American Conference when UConn made that move for all sports back in the day the thing that needs to be remembered in that aspect is the lack of leadership at UConn during that time Four different ADs, six different presidents during that time.

Right now, we have an elite athletic director in David Benedict.

My honest opinion, the best athletic director in the country with what he has done with the University of Connecticut Athletics.

We have great leadership from an institutional perspective, the president as well.
