Ron Hunter to Tulane!

Billy Kennedy just got let go from from TAMU two years removed from an SEC title and NCAA and COY honors. He had major injury issues to deal with this season, with his two best players going down.

....I think he came very close to getting the UL job over Marlin—-had some connects from the past with Farmer....his daughter was at UL and he knew NO and the state....Holy Cross kid ......talked with him pretty much at the time....has had some health issues!

NCAA appearances make money no one cares about regular season titles. Hudspeth is a prime example nobody mentions he had only 1 shared sunbelt championship in the first 4 years the same as Bustle

I'm fairly certain the Sunbelt does what other leagues do and most of that revenue is split with the league. Schools really cash in by putting multiple teams in the dance and having them progress in the tournament.

The payout is not what's important it's the exposure your program gets especially if you win a game

You are the one that brought up money and that payout is extremely important because it is a huge amount of money over multiple years. The basketball fund is the most moeny paid out by the NCAA to its member institutions.

Im talking about increasing in donations and season tickets that is usually associated with making the dance or the NCAA postseasons. The Ncaa pays us about 140k per year in basketball which is nothing football got 1.4 mill

Its nothing because the SBC only puts one team in the tournament and they rarely win a game. This year each "unit" will be worth 280K or 1.68 mil over the six years paid out. Putting two teams in the tournament and winning a few games can make a huge difference to a conference.

I agree but the sunbelt will never be a 2 bid league with how these coaches schedule to pad their record.

OVU was a 2 bid league with both coaches making substantially less than Big Fish

[CajunEXPRESS]

The problem isn’t that Big Fish makes lots of dollars. The problem is he’s not giving us a good return on investment. Oh well I’m sure talktomewillis will remind us we were never really very good, what the heck we’re b itch ing about

Don't you realize its 1950 and we might get some AP votes if we win the regular season title..

[zephyr]

Really? I didn’t just type up coaches names and arbitrarily throw salaries next to them. Come on man, the reality is Big Fish sucks. We over pay for mediocre results.

I wish we’d pay $750k and hire an energetic younger coach who can raise money and win the right way. A personality like hudspeth with a better xo’s grasp of basketball.

Instead we pay $550k for Mr Rogers with more excuses than CNN.

Exactly
