Biden will be the focus of negative swipes by Trump and conservative PACs.

He's gonna have to worry about swipes from dem candidates as well, especially Bernie who's already lobbed a few.

You best hope Anderson is serious in the hiring of LUKE.  Without support, as good a coach as he has been ,will falter without sufficient  tools to produce a winning program.  That was a good hire imho.

Pardon are you saying Dunn was a good hire? If so based on what measure because it sure can't be winning.

I'll admit I thought Dunn was a good hire. He did a decent job at Penn State getting his team to the sweet sixteen once.

TU may want to select someone who's had a more consistent record this time around.

^^^Exactly Ken. Better take this opportunity millions of kids dream about. So, what it's the team you wanted. You're playing ball and making money. Never liked Zion anyway. Selfish bastard.

Why are you calling him selfish? He hasn't given any indication he wont go to New Orleans.

All this speculation is created by the media who probably wants to see him in NY.

Curious to get thoughts on the role of the conference vs actions of the individual institutions to remedy this. Plus, if I see a school/program that’s doing it right and better than I, I will reach out to get a better feel for their success model. Is this not happening in some cases? It looked like some of our programs were repeat offenders in multiple sports.

That's what i'm thinking . The conference needs a compliance officer who works with all schools to help them stay out of APR trouble. It should be a working group so that everyone lifts each other up

Conference has a compliance officer. Plus the NCAA offers additional money and support, but that still isn't enough.
Bottom line.....most of us should not be at D-1. We just do not have sustainable resources to remain at this level. How many of us are offering full or even partial COA? Little things like this matter when it comes to retention.
