He did lead the team to a 32-3 season while making it to the second round of the NCAA tournament.

He did, but he was handed a program built by someone else. He didn't pull a Benford, true, and he did take it to the next level, but can he recruit and develop talent? Is one year enough to answer those questions?

Mike D'Antoni's brother, Dan, is expected to be hired as head coach at Marshall University, his alma mater, sources told ESPN.

What? Some took over someone else's good program and made it better? That's a thing?

You missed the real eye-opener in this thread...that super-rich, Appalachian located, Marshall Univesrity violated all known Values Athletic Spending Rules by paying for TWO years of the coaching contract of their previous coach to leave. That won't win you any "Atheltic Department Value" National Championships//UNT BOR

Really? Schools in CUSA do that? Ha, how freaking stupid. They should just alienate their fan base by continuing to put a crappy product on the floor and pretending everything is OK. I mean, if it saves money, who cares, right?

I was actually halfway through a series on that, but I got frustrated and depressed and finally just gave up.

I think the latest ad campaign should let everyone know exactly how the leaders of UNT view UNT:

A cheap place to get an education.

Want athletics? Well, we are giving you a cheap education, so we'll do athletics as cheaply as possible.

Academics? Hey,you're getting a cheap education, how the hell can you expect us to be academically competitive? Just take your cheap degree and shit the hell up.

I throw up every time I pass one of those billboards that cheapen my education.

But that is seriously who we are. Worse yet, that's who our leaders WANT us to be.

Until there are wholesale changes far above AD, nothing will change.

Yes. They are bright green, but don't worry, I bought them at the dollar store.

It's was a great deal.

Is it just me, or is the big pitch on cheap education a little overblown?

UNT: Tuition's about $8726

Texas A&M: Tuition's about $9006

Really not that much cheaper.

The UNT figures you linked are non-resident costs; the others are resident costs.

18 hours at UNT (resident): $4702.60

Right, but I'm just comparing tuition. Not the other expenses. And that $4702.60 is for 18 hours, one semester. The numbers I brought up were for a whole academic school year.

Looking more and more like Underwood will be answering those questions against us, at Southern Miss.
