Message: [QUOTE="sufan59, post: 5711876, member: 8789"] I would guess that if they have been in talks for that long, the number they want keeps going up with every goalpost Hodgson and South Florida clear, it honestly may have less to do with Providence going higher and about what USF is accomplishing. In this tournament alone, how well South Florida does will increase the amount they will want guaranteed right away. Think of Dusty May and Michigan, the resources they have is a lot, but Dusty got more than I'm sure the next guy they had on the list would've gotten because they got a guy that had FAU in the Final Four and in the top 25 over the course of the previous two seasons. He's showing that the initial investment is worth it based on what he has already done. No need to prove it with average resources that you can produce above average results in year 1. [/QUOTE]
