maybe in your post replace “Duke” with another famous private school and replace “Tennessee” with a famous public school, and let me know if it’s still illogical
Tough to poach from the B1G. And a lot of the coaches you mentioned have personal ties to those areas/schools. Better chance to get someone from the B12, ACC, or lower.
Agreed that it hasnt worked out. Unclear if they have "oodles of money." Rutgers athletics somehow is running a deficit despite B1G payouts. And it's not like they're paying big money to get 5 star FB or MBB recruits.
Highly doubtful. In part given legacy, but also the top conferences have shifted to almost all female coaches.
off top of my head so I may be off ...
SEC: 12/16 ? TX KY MSS AUB
B1G: 15/18? NW OSU NW
ACC: 14/18? PITT LOU NCS CLM
it's only when you get down the food chain that you get...
As somoene noted earlier, key issue is when the contracts end. I think a bunch of schools -- BC, Rutgers, for example -- are unlikely to pay buyouts and will allow the current coach to run her course barring something unethical.
I think princeton is overrated but I have no problem with sticking in mid-majors at the bottom to give them some attention/reward.
Tenn is not underrated. TAMU is a bad team.
Lawson lobbied for the TN job after Warlick, and was turned down hard. I think
It was ugly.
GG went to Texas yea for money but in part because she had a bad relationship with the new Duke AD. I think she would’ve been forced out had she not left. He wanted someone to take them to a NC...
I don’t think the logistics are a road block. The issue is probably more general availability and potential revenue.
Madison square garden has not only the Rangers and Knicks but also a lot of concerts, with high ticket prices and sold out crowds. And these arenas probably have high costs...
