I look at the current AD and President as two people who do care what happens, which is why they found the money and had the ability to go bring in coach Odom and one of if not the best staffs in the MWC. My expectation is that the coach seat for Kruger is hot now, and that they are looking for the funds to hire a coach that can turn the program around in contrast to the crap job done by Desiree Reed-Francois who used two really bad hires in football and basketball to get her a 7 figure contract at Missouri.
You grab Will Wade now then… he’s tarnished, but who cares. DePaul already rumored to be going after him. He’d be cheap, gotta get someone who knows what they’re doing, I don’t care if he bounces after 3 seasons, that’ll mean we probably made a decent run at some point
That's what I'm saying... so many fans think we need the next Tark or Few as the next hire.. completely unrealistic, it'd be great, but we're in need of a serious quick turnaround and I don't care if they're previously tarnished or will jump to the next big job. Hopefully that means they actually did their job here and were better for it. Continue to make the right hires and then Hopefully that makes someone want to stay longer..
Wire tap for what?? everything is legal now. He would keep everyone he wanted and upgrade the talent immediately.
It's a stretch to say everything is legal now. You don't have to look that far back, like this month, to see Florida State getting hit with "NIL recruiting violations". The NCAA handed down some serious sanctions.
Do you really think anything the NCAA does now will hold up in a court of law? These days schools just go and fight violations in the courts. With the millions going into players pockets in some schools, how can anything be considered a violation?
Marshall can coach, but I'm not sure he's a fit here--I don't know that he'll be anyplace where the administration doesn't have his back 100% after his WSU exit and that's not exactly UNLV's strong suit. Plus, he's not been actively pursuing employment, besides a little bit of noise after Martin left the Gamecocks. He's definitely someone you've got to call though.
I haven't heard that the courts have overturned anything related to this. I haven't even heard of FSU challenging these violations in court. Please enlighten us with what you know. Maybe I've missed something.
US. Supreme Court in 2021 struck down NCAA restrictions related to compensation which tossed many of the cases the NCAA had filed against individual schools. This also included the Sherman Act relating to benefits to student athletes. West Virginia Federal Court temporarily blocks the NCAA transfer eligibility rules December 21, 2023 in regards to NCAA Division I bylaw 14.5.5.1. This will ultimately impact all transfer limitations by NCAA. Antitrust lawsuit against NCAA seeking damages for college athletes Apr 4, 2023. This case includes defendants named that includes NCAA, ACC, Big 10, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC. There are many other cases also related to conditions set by the NCAA.
Good take. Also, when you look at what he accomplished at WSU and Winthrop is very impressive. Neither are powerhouses. Yet in 21 years of coaching he coached in the post season 18 times with 14 ncaa's, 3 NIT's and one CBI appearance. Also, made appearances in the sweet 16, one Final 4 and won a NIT Championship.
It does help UNLV made an almost $2 million profit for the year from what I understand. How much is the buyout prior to the end of the season and at the end of the season? Considering how much football has turned around, and it looks like season ticket sales have gone up significantly, I am sure there are boosters out there the trust the current AD and President, and can help out, or is that wishful thinking?
The last time we received buyout money from Iowa State “stealing” Otz from us. Seemed like a good opportunity to spend good money on a real coach, but DRF went cheap an easy with KK.
Colorado hired Deion knowing they didn't have the money, but it would come.
Let me know if and when the current sanctions have been lifted at Florida State. Right now nothing has been challenged. The NCAA has levied sanctions and FSU accepted them. I can only relay the facts as of today. When those facts change then they change. The thing is this went through a process called "Negotiated Resolution Procedure". Florida State agreed and settled with the sanctions and violations. They cannot be appealed within the NCAA framework. I doubt FSU takes this to court after making that agreement. How this will apply to all the other stuff you mentioned above as it relates to FSU is an unknown. Like I said I'm only posting todays facts in regards to FSU and their NIL violations.
Don’t disagree but it’s VERY doable in CBB. The new coach brings a key player or two with him, pulls a few others from the portal along with a solid first HS recruiting class and season one is respectable. I’m sick and tired of watching UNR, USU, BSU, hell even Wyoming and FSU do it. UNLV is full of BS excuses. Make a f’n commitment to the program. Do their job and make the right moves. Harp did in football no less. No question that challenges exist (mostly $$$) but goddamn it is absolutely doable.
Sad but true here!
You're right. He should just be fired with no plan, pay out hundreds of thousands or millions to buy out CKK, then a bunch more to hire a no name assistant and hopes he works out better. SMH.
