This is good on so many levels. Obviously the biggest is this is for a great cause. A fun event. A chance to see UCONN play at Mohegan!

But also, this team is so new, and getting a chance to play ANOTHER exhibition game against a quality opponent, will help this team get ready for the season.

Mohegan produces $150 in revenue for each fan outside the arena. Multiply that by 10,000.
As always, the biggest winner is the casino. Brings in an extra $1M+ in revenue on an off night for the venue then writes the facility fee off for tax purposes.

Exactly right - the Casino always wins - Given fan demographics - males age 25-55 - expect to exceed the average event and maybe bring in $2M. However, being mid week may hurt people staying late?

Mohegan Sun will be making an announcement on 10/25. Look for Mohegan to focus further on men’s College BB.
Good job chief. Always knew that your basketball knowledge is top notch. I just got wife's permission to go to the game if I can get someone to cover my call. When will Coach Calhoun start helping St Joes recruit students (not athletes)?

You know Jim well, he already started the day of his official announcement. He stopped at STM prep school on his way home. Being D3 my understanding is they will offer supersized Financial Aid packages rather than ships.

Love the idea & cause. On a side note one Poster mentioned some animosity over the MAL transfer. Didn't feel like the way Sid changed his mind. Any thoughts on the staffs view of Cooley & company?

Cooley and KO like each other and the ADs get along as well. After something like the MAL thing happened Calhoun would use that as motivation and a feud type thing but KO is a different guy.
Lots of people are sleeping on Brian Blaney - he is absolutely killing it. George must be very proud. Nice excerpt below, Nelson is the AAU coach.

Hmmmm, Pistons play the Timberwolves on October 25th too.

Drummond/Dunn posse battle gets settled in 2 places on the same right.

Don't think that's a coincidence...


*EDIT* Nevermind, just realized Dunn plays for the Bulls now.
