Re: Do we know...

Until App has named a new head coach, I would think any of the people here that Satterfield asks to go to Louisville would go in a heartbeat. First, if it is the same job at ASU and UL, then the pay raise would be great. The only reason to not go would be a promotion here at ASU (position coach to C...

Re: Louisville to meet with Satt after ULL

So Brohm won’t leave Purdue for his alma mater but Satt will leave his alma mater for Louisville...not buying it. Not saying Satterfield will or will not leave, but Brohm is already at a P5 making P5 money, so this would be a lateral move. Satterfield is not making a lateral move if he goes to a P5..

Re: Rumors Upon rumors but this one is bad

Latest from Football Scoop (for what it is worth), is that Satterfield and Brown are still in the mix but it is all up to Brohm at Louisville:

Florence Updates from Watauga County

Just curious if anyone has any updates regarding how Watauga County, particularly in the Foscoe area, is doing with the rains from Florence. We have a condo at Echota and are curious what is going on in that area.

Thanks.

Re: UNCC Week

Every week I look at the upcoming schedule on ESPN to see who is playing and they always list tickets and how much they are going for on vivid seats.com. I like t look at the most expensive and the least expensive. The cheap ones are usually for expected blowouts (VMI vs. Penn State type games) and ...

Re: CBS Fornelli50 ---

If you all could read, you would take note of the fact that his poll is based upon a mathematic formula and isn't subjective (though there is likely some bias in his formula that would be hard to sort out without quite a few years of data). Regardless, his opinion doesn't have much to do with where...

Re: Conference realignment

Pretty much a foregone conclusion but Brett McMurphy of ESPN on Twitter: "East Carolina says it was informed by Big 12 it is no longer an expansion candidate."

Re: Conference realignment

Just thinking. Does anyone think that our athletic administration has been in touch with the AAC should the Big 12 take any of their members? Not nearly as far fetched as ECU or Arkansas State to the Big 12. Should we be acting proactively if an opportunity presents itself? I would prefer the Sun B...

Re: The latest from Chapel Hill ---

What UNC is saying is saying to all other universities is that the best way to let athletes cheat is to make sure that an equal number of non-athletes are also allowed to cheat. It's a blueprint for all athletic programs.

Re: Baylor fires Art Briles

Hate to say it but when a program goes from pretty crappy (Baylor and Ole Miss ) to all of a sudden pretty good, to then really good with (all of a sudden) big time recruits signing at said programs I tend to say... hmmmmm.

Oberlin Students demand doing away with midterms and grades below a "C"

Not sure what to say on this one, but it appears that the precious little snowflakes (all of them are unique individuals) at Oberlin are upset that midterms and academics are getting in their way of student activism. They should not be expected to have to take academics seriously, and more important...

Re: Baylor fires Art Briles

Didn't see that coming. I wonder if there is a scandal. Huge scandal. Just yesterday here in Texas they were reporting that the President of the University, Ken Starr, would be fired as well. They are backing off that report some now. They may give Ken the honorary title of Chancellor and hire a ne...

As usual, Jerry you are correct. However it is a majority "minority" university with a large African American population.

I read about this a couple days ago on both the Chronicle of Higher Education and InsideHigherEd.com websites. The article below has more factual information instead of mainly opinion, but as pointed out in the NO Opinion piece, the plan is very short (as in none) on the details of how the legislatu...
