Message: [QUOTE="Rooster C., post: 4926363, member: 10168"] I'm surprised in that she had recently received an extension and was had four years left on her contract. I thought she would see that contract through before retiring if then. At her official retirement "speech" she hinted at the changing landscape in collegiate sports - that it used to be about building long-term relationships with players and their families. My guess is that she believes "pay-to-play" is the new normal and players will keep jumping ship to chase the perceived opportunity to win a championship alongside NIL deal opportunities. While she seems to believe that Miami is well positioned to take advantage of this changing landscape it's not for her and her strong belief in forging relationships that last. I don't think any of this was helped by her being "singled out" by the NCAA for the Cavinder twins recruiting when it's clear other programs are engaging in far worse and are more obvious about it. Then came the recent snub of not receiving a bid to this years tournament which they should have received considering others that were invited. Miami not even worthy of a 12-seed play-in game? C'mon man! [/QUOTE]
