Memphis: Head coach Mike Norvell has signed a 1-year extension with a “significant” salary bump for assistants, according to SI’s Pete Thamel. Norvell originally inked a 5-year deal that paid him $1.8 million in 2016 before leading the Tigers to an 8-5 mark in his first year on the job. Memphis paid Norvell’s assistants $2.15 million in ’16, sixth-most among AAC public schools according to USA Today. read more: http://footballscoop.com/the-scoop/

I echo this. His family is very loyal to UNT and has been for many years.

semi highjack but it appears that Liberty is signing a lot of juco talent... here is the latest:

Agreed. But if it ultimately helps us land a winnable p5 game home + home AND helps us get Apogee to finally sell out I'm game...

It's pretty clear that he has reopened his recruiting.

WASHINGTON — President Trump has fired the director of the F.B.I., James B. Comey, over his handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails, the White House said on Tuesday. Mr. Comey was leading an investigation into whether members of the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election. “While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the bureau,” Mr. Trump said in a letter to Mr. Comey dated Tuesday. “It is essential that we find new leadership for the F.B.I. that restores public trust and confidence in its vital law enforcement mission,” Mr. Trump wrote. In a separate letter released at the White House, Mr. Spicer said that the president informed the director that he has been “terminated and removed from office.” Memos released by the White House show that Rod J. Rosenstein, the newly sworn-in deputy attorney general, that recommended Mr. Comey be fired over how he disclosed the investigation into Mrs. Clinton. Continue reading the main story

THE CIRCUMSTANCES venture into “don’t ask” territory, but I witnessed members of opposing softball teams dancing the Macarena over the weekend, during a long break in the action. I instantly wondered how many ladies on the Marshall and Alabama-Birmingham teams were even born when that craze gripped America. I shouldn’t admit this, but I knew that was 1995 without looking it up. In 1995, Marshall football was seen on WSAZ, Channel 3, with home games usually at 7 p.m. Conference USA was in its infancy and I declined to pay extra for call waiting on my push-button telephone. We still had answering machines! Now, Marshall is in finishing its 12th season in that C-USA, which has five schools that weren’t even playing football in 1995. Finding the right channel — or device — to watch games is half the fun. To write about it is no fun. Getting the correct outlet for an upcoming football game is cause for relief. Deciphering who owns what and who airs what can be elusive. C-USA’s TV landscape is becoming more convoluted — so much so, you’ll be able to find games this fall on Twitter! What the heck. Isn’t that where a presidency was born? Let’s go back to the future of the soon-to-be-former American Sports Network, which carried six Thundering Herd games last year. - See more at: http://www.wvgazettemail.com/sports-marshall-university/20170507/doug-smock-c-usa-tv-deal-could-get-interesting#sthash.qCJk6wsF.dpuf

Good take Joe.

In true Dallas Cowboys style, “The Star in Frisco” is 91 acres of spare-no-expense opulence – a $1.5 billion complex that contains the team’s corporate headquarters, two practice fields, a 12,000-seat indoor football stadium with interior and exterior video boards and an entertainment district with restaurants, shops and a hotel. Could it be the site of the 2018 Conference USA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments? A vote by athletic directors later this month will decide. Finding a convenient tournament location for a conference whose membership sprawls from West Texas to South Florida to Southeastern Virginia has been a challenge for C-USA. read more: http://pilotonline.com/sports/college/old-dominion/basketball/conference-usa-eyeing-new-cowboys-practice-facility-as-possible-home/article_b01bdf97-0603-5ae9-b8b0-9481f7d08cec.html

Hearing rumor that there is some Info being released at caravans.

Is this really necessary with UBER anymore? I just don't get why anyone would even risk it...

Wow...

Welp - looks like Brice unfortunately got caught up in this mess. Wish they would of handled the coverage separately but what can you do when you are going on limited detail.

He's 6-5 so that doesn't hurt.

Can you please post link? Thanks!
