The New York City police chief deals with things every single day (like 81 Yankees home games) that are more complicated than spring weekend, plus Al Queda would love to hit NYC again, and Osama Bin Laden couldn't find Storrs CT on a map.

Again, if the NYC police chief makes $220k a year, there is no earthly way to defend giving the UCONN chief 30k more than that. It's the stupidest thing I ever heard. How did they arrive at that salary? Did they just ask this guy to name his price?
