I see your point, but teams like Hartford make a lot of money from playing teams like UK. Playing these games where you get your butt whipped help get enough money together to go out and recruit bigger/better players. Calipari may have a tie with someone on the Hartford coaching staff and is probably only helping them out by scheduling them.

You are right, this is done all the time and there is a legitmacy as to why coaches do this. I'm not sure there is a tie to this game, I remember their coach as a player and assistant to John Chaney at Temple. I don't recall on Cal's resume that he speant any time there.

My guess is that this game was on the schedule prior to Cal coming, so I won't blame him for scheduling this game. In situations like this, I'd rather give money to an in-state team. Don't give a payday to a mediocre program when you can help your own state out.

Let Hartford make their money by playing UConn, we don't need them here. Give me NKU, EKU, WKU, heck bring in Transylvania, they would put up as much of a contest as Harford
