Interesting.  I wonder if it was a resign or be fired situation?

That was my first instinct. Although I know he was away from the team for a while due to health issues. Maybe a convenient factor.

Like you said, they like their basketball there and CUSA will still have some competitive teams coming in with the two best teams in the Atlantic Sun (Kennesaw State, Liberty), best team in the WAC (Sam Houston State) and a bully in New Mexico State.

Somehow all of those schools thought CUSA was an upgrade.

Stansbury's resignation flashed across the ESPN ticker the day after he quit.

Local news reported that Stansbury called it quits because of health problems.

It was also reported that his contract had a $500,000 buyout clause.

Which means he has to pay WKU $500,000 according to his contract terms. (His salary was $650,000.)

WKU BB HC is a desirable job as basketball is like a second religion here in KY and WKU BB has great fan support.
