Charlotte

Already has a bushel of P3 transfers.  What's going on there?  Do they have money somehow?

They took out a loan from SMU.

Good to see he recognizes that it is now a P3…SEC, Big XII, and Big10

Is this North Texas football related?

Yes.   Charlotte resides in our conference.   Anything a conference mate is doing is NT football related.

Their head coach is a successful businessman.  I don’t think it’s a coincidence.

I knew he was successful, but not hundreds of millions successful. Wow.  Interesting model. It's almost like a full outsourcing - pay the coach to win, and he handles funding the personnel as part of the total contract

Apparently you have not been there or you would have seen Bank of America’s towering headquarters looming over those of the various other very large banks that have a big presence there. There is a LOT of money in CLT, and disproportionate to the smaller size of the city. And there is no local competition. And their NFL team is about the worst ever, so maybe people there are getting interested in the local college game. The setting of their little stadium is beautiful and that stadium will be getting bigger soon.

It is because a lot of the transfers that have committed to them were also offered by us.

Wasn't there a lot of excitement about their recruiting and transfers last year, also?
