Who the heck is UTRGV Jason ?????????????????

An IUPUI like (but lower level) school in Texas.

Used to be Texas-Pan American that we played in the Gentile Classic several years ago that merged with another school and became UTRGV.

the So Dak St coach went from a yearly salary of just over $200k to over $500k, a good move up

[Coach]

Nice raise for Coach Drew..........$ 2+ million a year for several years. No more bus trips out of state I would guess either. Sometimes a coach knows when to cash in his chips, sometimes a coach waits too long and loses the big opportunity.

Goodman is reporting Milwaukee is hiring Michigan assistant LaVell Jordan.

Also, Valpo is hiring their new coach at 4:30 per several folks on Twitter. Have to think that means they are hiring someone in house, no?

 

[Jason Svoboda]

Ray Harper resigns at WKU and is hired at Jacksonville State.

Goodman answer. Just posted they're hiring assistant Matt Lottich.

This will put openings into single digits now.

We only need one to create another one.

Hasn't Lottich been there since HOMER Drew accepted the job?

Looks like Georgia Tech is close to hiring Memphis' Pastner.

Wonder if $$$ will be an issue --- Ga Tech is still on the hook for $4.0M for the 2 predecessors...

"...Georgia Tech will owe Gregory more than $1.3 million for the final two years of his contract. Hewitt, who took a $7.2 million buyout after he was fired in 2011, is still owed $2.7 million from the school over the next three years..."

P5 or not --- eventually $$$ will bite you in the Tuchus!

 

[Jason Svoboda]

Looks like it is official.

No official talk about it, but over on the shocker board they are discussing Marshall to Memphis.

that would be an interesting move... he goes from one city college to another, does the American Athl Conf have THAT great of a tv deal?

 

[Jason Svoboda]

Marshall makes more at Wichita State than Pastner did at Memphis.

Wonder if the conference allure is better?
