You would expect UNT to say Mac turned the job down, and SMU response to be that he was never offered the job. The truth may be some where in between. SMU could have reached out to him to determine his level of interest and was told there was none. No real offer from SMU, no real rejection by Mac on an offer he never received, and both universities can spin it anyway they want.

Ummm that’s still rejection. If I go up to a girl and say hi then she says eww leave me alone that is rejection.

Has anyone checked the traffic reports for 75 and Mockingbird this evening?  

When your fanbase can be called the Sweet 16, is traffic ever a concern?

No way and also and according to my sources we were never seriously interested in McCasland in the first place.  There must have been some false leaks going on out there on this one.

This sounds like the guy who got turned down after asking a girl out to the prom. Famous last words "I didn't want to go with you anyway." Hahaha.

It’ll be Golding, until he turns SMU down. So on and so forth until SMU realizes they are just a mid major.

My sources indicate that Grant McCasland has agreed to a multi million dollar contract with UNT.  McCasland rebuffed interest from SMU.  Oh my how things have changed! GMG

Great news!

Any word on whether or not Ross Hodge is staying as well?

Biggest win in the history of Western Civilization.

SMU basketball team is now required to eat crow and play the entire 2022-2023 season in black unis.

*wink @ADLER*

Thanks Gminer,

I would love to hear of them being invisible in their empty arena covered in layers of bad luck, but, ya know, they will be our conference mates so we should have a little pity.   Nah.

So, back to topic… How much is Grant’s new contract ?  What does “multi million” mean in dollars and cents ?

Now we as fans need to do our part to keep him here for the long run by showing up. I don't care if we're playing NCTC, I want to see at least 4,000 at the home opener next season. I believe the Maniacs are getting funds from the school to keep this thing going. I heard they would be a part of freshman orientation to get the next generations to know that we're a basketball school!

I figure about 6 games of SL’s coaching will let them know we’re a basketball school

The LATECH coach did not want the SMUT job.   I think when you force out a coach who has had success and a winning record it does not look like a good landing spot for the next coach.

Nobody wanted the SMUT job.   I think, when you have a delusional fan base with images of grandeur only accomplished while cheating at the highest levels, it does not look like a good landing spot for the next coach.

@Brett Vito what are the numbers on this deal?? No one will spill the beans?????? They are making you do an open records request or is it not approved by BOR?

Nature of the contract requires board approval.

@Brett Vito thanks, that is what I assumed was the hold up on information flow.
