That does not bode well for the future of the big east. Marquette fans must be in meltdown.

[/quote]When the FOX Sports TV package with the Big East was announced last year, it was reported to be worth $500 million over a 12 year period, with a bump up to $600 mil if BE expands to 12. Of course, that does pale in comparison to the ACC/ESPN package.

BTW, Ben Howland (ex-UCLA) and MU alum Brian Wardle (UW-Green Bay) are said to be the leading candidates to replace Williams.

I saw him in action a couple years ago in a Manhattan vs UNCW game and all I could think of was used cars salesman.

Now I’m just going by second-hand info here, but doesn’t Lutz get his final six-figure gift from Judy Rose this coming Monday?

This was his last season getting his hand out, yes.

Bobby Lutz lead candidate at App. State.

Kevin Keatts, Assoc HC from Louisville landed the UNCW gig, 5 yr deal.

Did it say how much they are paying him? I’d be curious to see where it stacks up.

Dunno the pay - but man this would get me excited if I was a UNCW person…
