Texas' Shaka Smart to Marquette

Could Tech go after Sampson? Similar teams to beards in style of play and toughness. The ORU coach would be a total 180.
just my opinion. I could be wrong. Just thinking Texas is not a great job. Tech to me seems like low pressure, they pay him crazy pay. Texas would have to pay more than the football coach which seems nuts to me.
Oh I agree. Interesting these articles keep coming out saying it’s a done deal and yet nothing has happened.
Didn’t it take two days between all the articles saying TJ was a done deal and isu announcing it?
Very true. If TTU hasn’t shot anything down and Beard hasn’t made an announcement, I’d say it’s bad news.
Yeah, I feel like the fact that there’s been no statement from Tech or Beard says a lot more than the articles. You’d think if they were working out an extension or something, Tech would say something about how they’re excited to be working together on a commitment to the future of the program or some **** like that.
I think April 1st might be the hold up since his buyout goes "down". (Not that $1 million makes any difference to Texa$)
Waiting 3 days to save a million? I think even the filthy rich are on board with that math.
All revenue distributions from the conference are now equal. That was part of the fall-out of the summer of 2010 conference realignment. A reminder though that Big 12 schools retain Tier 3 TV rights (games which are not part of existing TV contracts). Texas makes by far more money than any school in this regard by way of the Longhorn Network. We sell our Tier 3 rights to ESPN+ now.
Both UT and aTm get millions in oil dollars every year. When the state was set up, the legislature gave both UT and aTm a track of land to the west, no one at the time, knew that sat on millions of barrels of oil. Both university now use those oil riches to build world class universities. Throw in people that got rich from oil and now you have a number of boosters that money is no problem, so they give money to both universities and now TT.

From coach Beard to an NBA assistant seems like a long, long way down the trail for Texas. But as I thought, IU takes one of Knight's guys plus Thad Matta as his lead analyst.

interviewed for the Texas job on Sunday, sources told ESPN. Ivey was a key player on the Longhorns Final Four team in 2003 and there is strong support for him amongst Texas alumni —most notably

As soon as I saw Durant pushing Ivey for the job I thought he was likely the next coach and now that they are interviewing him I am even more confidant of that.
You gotta think the closer it gets to April 1 the more likely Beard is the new coach? His buyout drops in cash when 4-1 comes around. I know Musselman is on their want list too, but with his recent statement after the E8 game. He sounds like he is staying at Arkansas.
Yeah, the quietness surrounding Beard by extension suggests he's headed to Austin. It's really sad that the big guy can come in and swoop-up a coach built at a smaller competing conference school. April Fools Day looming though ...
