Financial tidbits, thoughts on Petersen’s departure

[UNT90]

Maybe if we had equal pay across gender lines in this great nation of ours, there'd have been less hand-wringing.

Good God, dude. Take it to the Pie forum.

Maybe if we had equal AD ability the buy out would have been the same. Maybe if we played in the freaking ACC, the buy out would have been the same.

Central Arkansas???? Man,that just does not screen "big time" in RV's world of collegiate athletic directorship. Coaches from "marquee" name colleges get RV's attention.

Volleyball Wise in the last 4 years their Coaches are now at Ole Miss and Mississippi State, so they can coach at little old UCA

If memory serves,Aston had a buy out clause with UNC@C that required her to pay them $130,000 [i think that was about the amount] if she left early. I don't know if we paid it or Aston did. Peterson looked like a decent hire that for some reason did not work out. I really think that we have grown beyond hiring "assistant head coaches", which is why I was against our head basketball choice.In summary, our women's basketball program looks like a train wreck, and men's just a little better.

I think Petersen fired himself. I was surprised it happened this year, but Stephens and him were probably as bad as head coaching gets. Not only bad records, but tons of off court damage. Stephens make even Petersen look better by comparison, but at least it was her first head coach job and she was comparatively cheap.

I don't think even RV can hired another coach as bad as those two, but he is sometimes capable of wondrous things.

Maybe RV figured out, that the more buy out costs he piles on, the least likely NT can afford a change at the top.
