To each his own, but I don't get that decision at all.

Only up to 1.5 from 1.2 mil. I guess being able to sign a contract that will pay you well for the rest of your career is good enough. Wonder what UCLA's offer was?

Think Shaka at VCU could get them in the ACC or Big East?

frick UCLA.

Cowherd was talking about Few and guessing a 1.5 mil salary at Gonzaga. For him to have the SAME take-home pay at UCLA after taxes, and including a higher COL, he would need to make 2.5 mil at a minimum.

I can't wait for Coach K and Roy Williams to retire and he will end up at one of those schools and Brad Stevens will end up at the other

I'm actually not all that surprised. But still great news none the less. Supposedly he got extra money for assistants and other money being spent on the program. Sounds like he really does want to build VCU into a bigger program
