Houston Fires Major Applewhite

Yeah, Pennsylvania uses some weird designations with regard to their public schools like Temple and Pitt. But a look at the details as far as tuition costs and whatnot reveals them to be basically publicly subsidized in the same way that Penn State or any other public school in any other state is. All a part of the Commonwealth system.

Translation: Temple has the perception of being a small private basketball school but in reality is a big ass public school that is a lot more Georgia State than Villanova.

I am 47 and had no idea. With a name like Temple, I assumed a college with a religious affiliation. All those years watching Cheney coach and I thought he was coaching a school like Villanova or St. Joes.

Burning couches and bleacher-ööööting fans aside, why would you move from wvu to Houston? If Houston is in the big 12, I can see it, but you're leaving a decent p5 program for a g5. Maybe holgorsen doesn't think wvu will be any better and can use Houston to get a different job in 2-3 years even though it's at a lower level?

I guess because WVU wouldn't do a new contract.

I've always wondered why the Big 12 hasn't invited Houston to join yet. They could definitely be competitive in that conference.

That conference had the National Champ last year and just beat VT in their ööööty bowl.

The West Virginia coach, who is 61-41 with the Mountaineers, will receive a five-year contract worth $20 million, the source said. It would make him the highest-paid coach of a Group of 5 program.

Houston made Holgorsen its top target in its search but timing dictated it wait until the new year, as his buyout to get out of his contract at West Virginia dropped from $2.5 million to $1 million on Tuesday.

So we have a G5 school that ain't known for putting out rich Alums that can find a way to show more commitment to their FB program than GT does

I feel sorry for all those UH Alums that just saw their degrees devalued

After all, investing in your FB program devalues degrees, at least that's what I've been told

Correct. If you went to a school with a good football team, you are a poor.
 
The NCAA is a cowardly shytty organization

They should force the Big12 to take back SMU and UH

Geographically it makes sense and competition wise it makes sense, the Big12 is acting in an anti-competition (?) manner, by blocking those schools from joining they're making it easier for Big12 members to recruit in Texas by barring them entry into the Conf

I thought the NCAA was against paying players because it would create competitive disadvantages, yet they let the Big12 do the same thing and flaunt it in everyone's faces

This is why I like what Bagmen stand for, anything to undermine the corrupt NCAA

Nobody says that.

Creating a degree specifically for the football program does. That is beyond wag the dog.

We aren't that bad off anyway. Only 5 teams or so start the year with more than a 1% chance of winning a national championship. We are one of the 123 or so programs that don't.

More unsubstantiated whining from GT FB fans

No school anywhere has created a major for FB players
 
Dana Holgerson is finalizing his contract. $20M for 5 years.
