I really liked Frazier as well. Benedict has a back ground with D-1 hockey from his time at Minnesota as well. I have faith that Rachel Rubin and Susan Herbst made the right hire. Kind of also explains why Rubin wasn't at the UNH game the other night; they must have been conducting interviews.I really liked Sean Frazier but this dude (who is never heard of til 5 minutes ago) ain't bad from what I've read. Coming from Auburn where the draw 75k for their spring game hopefully he won't be embarrassed by us.
Why is he legit? He is coming from a program swimming in money, he's going to be put to the test here.This is legit. If you're mad you're either an old and grumpy new englander or young and grumpy new englander
Whose to say he didn't turn it down? Oh wellI really liked Frazier as well. He has a back ground with D-1 hockey from his time at Minnesota as well.

Agreed. And hey, he was in the VCU system when they were making noise so it's not like basketball is being devalued either.WOW. What does this hire say...no...SCREAM?
FOOTBALL.
This hire screams football and I LOVE IT. Not to mention, this paragraph should tell us all we need to know...
Benedict led a feasibility study to make renovations to Auburn’s Jordan-Hare Stadium that initiated a $150-$180 million project. He negotiated a unique nine-year extension with Under Armour that included both product, cash and $10 million worth of stock. Benedict also is leading a search for a multi-media rights partner that looks to more than double Auburn’s current average guarantee.
Expanding the Rent? Check.
Upcoming Nike contract expiration? Check.
UConn's Tier 3 rights (if stuck in the AAC)? Check.
Football? Check check check check check!
I'd be lying to say I have heard of him prior to 5 minutes ago but hot damn, this is a bold...no...VERY BOLD move by President Herbst to strengthening up our only perceived P5 "weakness": football.
I love President Herbst.

Any idea when the official release from the school came out?For those who keep score, Blaudschun had his article written and posted 6 minutes before Jacobs tweeted out the news.
In other words UConn likes Blaudschun a lot more than anyone at the Courant.

More like all around back ground....he has some serious facility upgrade projects in front of him that will be starting soon since they instituted the ticket surcharge.SEC Football Background > B1G Hockey Background
