This is just VCU being classless. They made claims all along about how they would be aggressive to keep Shaka, and now they are flaunting that they really did it.

It seems to me that trying to follow this search is pretty pointless.

Can somebody who's smart enough to decipher the legitimate sources on twitter succintly summarize who is legitimately on the table and who has legitimately declined us?

NCSU: "How's $2 million for six years sound?"

VCU: "How about $1 million?"

Smart (a la Kramer): "Deal!"

well SportsCenter just reported we got turned down by Smart so that definitely happened, if that's still being debated.

nothing else is known for sure, because Yow is doing what she's supposed to do.

Apparently money's not everything to Shaka. Can't say I blame the guy. He's a God there, and he can live off the first Final Four in the school's entire history for a loooong time. $1 million a year for probably at least ten years is still a ton of money. Way lower pressure too. He gets them to a S16 within the next five years, VCU fans are jumping for joy. He does the same for us and we're like "about damn time".

im actually happy that he stayed in VCU

Too risky to throw that much money at possibly a fuke...

He does it again next year like Brad Stevens is doing, then, he is worth $2+ million/year....

Who cares how much money we would have thrown at him? We are gonna throw nearly that much at a coach with no credibility anyways. Should have stuck with Sid until we had someone else lined up...

Enrollment: Yes (NCSU=31,041) (VCU=32,303)

Endowment: No (NCSU=$464 Million) (VCU=252.903 Million)

Although I remember NCSU being over 500Million last time I checked. Wonder if that is a market reflection, we actually lost endowment money, or somebody just updated the Wiki with more accurate info.

UNC is well over 1 Billion in academic endowment (+ their athletic endowment has 100% funded scholarships, something we aren't even close to)

We need Goodnight to go all T.Boone Pickens on us. Hell, if he gives NCSU 1/10th of his wealth @ death it will be a drastic improvement.

this might be why, can you believe all the loose connections to NCState this Norwood Teague douche has:
Quote :
"Teague is a native of Raleigh, N.C. He graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1988 with a degree in Political Science. In 1992, Teague earned a Master’s degree in Sports Administration from Ohio University.

Teague came to VCU from his alma mater, University of North Carolina, where he worked from 2001-2006 as the Tar Heels’ Associate Athletic Director for Marketing. In that position, he negotiated numerous partnership and rights agreements. Among them was an 8-year, $20-million contract with Learfield Sports and a first ever on-premises signage partnership with Wachovia in the Dean E. Smith Center. This was an $18 million deal spanning eight years.

From 1999-2001, Teague served as general manager of the Sun Devil Sports Network at Arizona State. While there, he increased sales and negotiated several multi-year television contracts. Teague oversaw radio, television, Internet and signage operations.

During 1998-99, Teague headed up new programs for Vilcom Sports and The Tar Heel Sports Network at the University of North Carolina. "

UNC is 1.9 billion.

This is probably for another thread but:
0What I don't understand is why we don't have a large scale campaign to raise our endowment. I am sure they fund raise like crazy all year, but what about the little guy? Can I donate $20 a month to the endowment, or do I have to donate a whole scholarships worth. I wish they would have a full scale Raleigh wide fundraiser with goals and all. (much like an athletic facility donation drive) To try to raise that thing over 1 billion in the next 10 years. Nothing can help a university more than a heftier endowment. It supports scholarships, programs, professors, facilities, the whole 9 yards.

Anyways, /rant

This if the first time I've had negative feelings since our coaching search started. There was a glimmer of hope with the big-name coaches, but I was fairly certain we didn't have a chance with any of them. But being turned down by Smart to stay at a lower paying, mid-major job is a pretty good shot to the self-esteem.

Anyone will be better than Lowe...let's just hope we get lucky.

Ok, here's what i'm hearing, for what it's worth:

Jay Wright and Gregg Marshall both have conditionally agreed to their respective "offers", pending BOG approval and final details. I don't have numbers or anything, but that's what I've heard.

Hopefully the offer to Wright is accepted.

i think they have campaigns to raise money for endowments all the time (both academic and athletic) -- at least i get mailings and phone calls about them, are you a member of the alumni association and/or wolfpack club?

here's a link to the scholarship endowments for our sports teams:

http://www.gopack.com/sports/wolfpack-club/spec-rel/scholarship-endowment.html

very underfunded...
