Message: [QUOTE="LETTERL, post: 2642240, member: 4687"] I know Dawn Staley is pretty well set at South Carolina and as a resident of the Palmetto State, I certainly hope she will stay and keep the Gamecocks as a power. But do not underestimate the emotional pull of one's undergraduate institution; I got my Masters degree from Clemson but my heart still bleeds Red and White with a strong attachment to NC State, almost 30 years after I graduated. There is more to life than money...and if UVA really wants Staley, they'll pony up the funds necessary to make an attractive offer. Virginia has a passionate core of WBB fans who are unhappy with the status of the program and yearn for a return to relevancy. On the other hand...Ray Tanner (former NC State baseball coach) is a great AD for South Carolina and will probably do all he can to keep Staley. [/QUOTE]
