Does anyone know how much the BB team's trip to France...
Jul 27, 2022, 3:27 PM

is costing the athletic department? If my basketball program didn't have enough money to hire staff, a trip to Europe may be a good place to start cutting costs. It would be interesting to get Dabo's take on this, since it really is his money being used.

Taco Bell did not have to give away any free tacos to the student section over the past 2 years, and as a show of gratitude, financed the entire trip.

boondoggle to Europe and I don't get a decent return on my money (IDK, maybe a tourney appearance), maybe I bring it up at the next Board meeting.
Dabo doesn't take FB team to Europe.

Several of us are donating the trip. Keep your dress on and get back in the closet.

buying out his contract? This type of #### is part of the problem. Squeeze him out, he ain't done jackshit and needs to go.
I'm sure you have great reasons, and I'm here to listen to them.

I lived near France for a couple years was there often (Casinos).
German style food was more tasty for a RedNeck like me.
Forget French girls - Austria has the best in Europe,
Not sure why anyone would go to France if they could avoid it.

that the French national teams that are effectively hosting the games are paying a big portion of the costs (i.e., flights, hotels, and some meals).

Sports. ACC basketball, while not even close to football, has a lot of value. So no this isn't Dabo's money.
