Wow, I thought this was a joke until I read the article.

I think I had read somewhere else a couple days ago that a waiver to allow Hathaway to remain as the Chair of the Tournament Selection Committee was denied; this hire doesn't necessarily seem to fix that problem.

That article kept on getting worse and worse the longer I read it. Hathaway as head of the bb department and now will fill his role as NCAA chairman will not bode well for UConn when the brackets are determined.

That is just another nail in the coffin.

 

[Cassius Klaiber]

Yeah, I was wondering about this - with his close connections, would Hathaway still be forced to leave the room when UConn is discussed?

 

[UconnDon]

I sure hope he leaves the room! I'm sorry he is in the room to begin with.

 

[MTHusky]

Unbelievable!

He'll be forced to leave anytime any Big East team is discussed.

He'll be forced to leave anytime any Big East team is discussed.

What are the odds he recommends some team that creates matchup problems (what few teams that can do this) for UConn be put in UConn's bracket?
