CNY and college hoops community in general love good gossip, accuracy be damned. CNY and college hoops community are of late awash in Mike Hopkins rumors.

The only people who can answer any of this with any certainty are Mike Hopkins, and presumably his wife. My take is that Mr. Hopkins, like so many of us still in central NY, have accepted some degree of wage stagnation and lack of career opportunity in order to remain in the area for sundry reasons (proximity to family, kids are happy in their schools, etc) rather than make the move.

This reminds me of all of the speculation and drama of the high school recruiting circuit. We can read the articles, we can hear the whispers of those in the know (like the "connected insider" who told me there's "1 million reasons for Mike to stay, that will become available to him on JB's retirement if Mike is still at SU". At the end of the day, it's none of my business, I guess.

Those predicting the date JB's retirement remind me of those predicting the date of the end of the world- none of them really have a clue, but some day one of them is going to be right.
