Around College Basketball

[quote="mjmaherjr" post=401972][quote="L J S A" post=401970][quote="Moose" post=401969]Not basketball related but interesting nonetheless to think about when again after this upcoming 'season' of college basketball, how there will again likely be not so much movement among the coaching fraternity. Unless of course you have football money to throw around.

The Univ. of South Carolina fired football coach Will Muschamp after a 2-5 start to the season despite questions regarding pandemic-impact finances that made the idea of firing him before '21 "seem, at best, impractical," according to Ben Breiner of the Columbia STATE. If Muschamp's deal "was not negotiated down in some way, the school will owe him" $3.3M for "each of the next four years, less whatever he makes at a new job in those seasons" (Columbia STATE, 11/16). THE ATHLETIC's Andy Staples notes the move comes as the pandemic has cost South Carolina's athletic department "millions and forced the department to furlough employees and/or cut their pay." The decision "sends a clear signal that no financial shortfall and no extraordinary circumstances will keep college sports administrators from giving millions to coaches to not work." There will be "plenty of complaints about South Carolina's decision to spend so much money to jettison Muschamp." Staples: "But I'm not sure even the shortfall caused by the pandemic -- estimated to be as much as $54 million -- would have stopped this from happening." If an athletic department "can't sell all the seats in its stadium, then it becomes even more reliant on the kindness of individual donors." However, donors "must be inspired to give, and if the department is promising more of something they hate, they'll be disinclined to write checks." South Carolina "probably had less choice in this matter than you think," as it "was going to lose eight figures on this deal either way" (THEATHLETIC.com, 11/16).[/quote]

If he really wants to be spiteful, he should take a job with a salary of 1 cent for the next four seasons and leave South Carolina on the hook for $13,199,999.96.[/quote] Are we done paying Slice yet ? it's been so long I forget[/quote]

Didn’t Coach Mullin absorb the cost?

I'm asking here before posting the article, I tried to pm mods before asking here, but i can't
Would this article be ok to post:: "college basketball needed a safe haven, instead it got a hot spot."

I realize it's a covid article so most likely I can't, but it's also about the ncaa tourney.l

He gets paid every July 1st, right?[/quote]

Bret Saberhagen is on that payment plan also but the Orioles pay half of what he is due from his deal with the Mets.

Get paid millions to do nothing, some people got the life.

COVID is affecting sports, so I don't think it would be out of bounds and I don't think it should. Posters just need to remember to keep it focused on sports.

Source: Brown's Tamenang Choh will transfer. Averaged 13.2 PPG and 8.1 RPG.

I wonder if ncaa will allow for team to go over scholly limit to sign an Ivy transfer with nowhere to play?

As expected, Former Penn State commit, TaQuan Woodley has just committed to South Carolina.
 
Not sure if it has been said but some serious Covid going around the Seton Hall team. Hoping everyone recovers well with no long term effects.
 
FYI--Division 2's Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference announced this afternoon that all winter sports regular season and league championships are cancelled for 2020/21. This allows conference schools that elect to play games outside of conference play to do so as long as the follow NCAA protocols
 
House of cards is about to collapse. Bubbles are the only hope until at least late spring.
