First, if you want to find trouble every campus will provide that opportunity. Have you been to Vegas? You can see the strip from Thomas & Mack. I was out there a few years ago and played poker with 2 kids from UNLV. Both said they were just stopping by to play a couple hours before class started. The one even said he had two tests the next day. I left and came back and left again at midnight and both were still there. I think there are way more temptations in Vegas than most other college towns. Several college towns are similar to West Laffy or Bloomington.

I believe some parents and even students don't like what Vegas stands for. I don't think I have ever heard that said about West Laffy or Bloomington.

Yep... been to Vegas several, Several times. (and Reno, Atlantic City, New Orleans and several european casinos...)

Remove gambling from the equation (as I said above) and those temptations can be found in other large city/urban campuses. I do NOT consider west laffy or gloomington to be cities --- they're large TOWNS. imo...

Would I live in Vegas -- highly doubtful. Would I want my kids to go to school in vegas? No -- other than hotel managment, what is unlv known for academically? exactly -- nothing.

Losing students and recruits due to parental concerns in Vegas and similar locations is understandable. It also makes one wonder how many students and recruits Indiana State lost to Terre Haute's "Sin City" fame.
 
Dannen is old friends with Lansing from their Iowa days, Marshalltown is only 30 miles from Des Moines. Dannen saw more of Lansing while Dannen was at UNI. Tulane would pay Lansing what he is worth, and it wouldn't hurt him to start over somewhere else.

Don't ruin my dream.

Maybe they're willing to up the salary. Previous coach was getting $250k while their baseball coach is making $550k so obviously they have a pool of funds to pull from.

I can see why GT fired Gregory but I think they should have given him one more year. Team improved this year and he had some talent that he brought in

Lotta rumors that former Deadbird HC Kevin stallings (current Vanderbilt coach) will be new coach at Pitt... Seems a bit of a reach, stallings has done OK but nothing outstanding at Vanderbilt...
 
Looks like Vandy's Stallings is going to Pitt. Rumor is VCU's Wade to be favorite to replace him. What a quick rise for that dude if true.
