2016/2017 Lowell Thread: Hoping for Chicago pt 2

[Middle Street]

Well it all evens out then between Kellogg's $1 million he was paid and the $1 million Kelsey might now owe Amherst. Football, basketball, hockey...everything's a mess there and I'm ok with that as it just makes Lowell look all that more together and attractive. They're less a flagship and more a sinking ship.

I presume the new college he eventually ends up at (not Winthrop) will be on the hook to pay the million. He only makes $250k at Winthrop apparently.

I'd like to think tax payer money doesn't cover any of this, the sports bring money in don't they?

Speaking of buyouts, it sounds like Kelsey may owe UMA $1M for backing out.

your tax $$ at work. Personally, even if I can't stand UMass because I can hold a grudge forever (Mullins Mausoleum was built with the money that was supposed to build our parking garage ) this seems a horrible waste of $$. Enough to feed people for a long time

How many head football coaches are they currently paying? 3???

They also had to buyout Kellogg's final two years for a $1M.

Not hockey related but still hilarious:
Report: Pat Kelsey bails on UMass press conference, turns down job at last minute

"ESPN reported Thursday afternoon that Kelsey — who was less than 20 minutes away from the scheduled start of his introductory press conference as Minutemen head coach in Amherst — had a change of heart."

Kellogg’s contract stipulates a 50 percent buyout of the two years remaining, meaning UMass will give him about $1 million. Assistant coaches and other staff members who aren’t retained will also be due severance.

Funny. Guess he got there and realized what a dumpster fire the athletic program is and turned around right away.

That was especially hard to do the year Lowell didn't make the tournament!

Counterpoint - Lowell has made the regional finals every year under Bazin.

You're move, Monty.

Re: 2016/2017 Lowell Thread: Hoping for Chicago pt 2

In the 4 years we've played in the tournament under Bazin (so far), we've had our season ended three times by ECAC foes. Just a reminder for those that might be thinking this is going to be easy.
