UNC fires Hubert Davis

[Orangezoo]

Going to be a bit like the Penn State football search I think. Takes too long but they end up with someone solid.

Problem is time right now. Monday hits and no coach and they are way behind if they aren’t able to retain most of their guys.

What a shame

How nice would it be to have an administration that isn't afraid to make the tough decisions as well as pony up the money for a splash hire.

States schools almost always have more than private (Duke/Stanford being exceptions, among others)

State schools have more money because they're bigger than private schools, ergo more alums with deep pockets. Most states have laws forbidding the use of state tax money for athletics.

Sounds like Steve Kerr stepped up here for Zona.

I'd like to know how many states are doing this? It really puts private schools at a disadvantage.

My favorite line :

“Neither the Senate nor Assembly debated the bill before their votes.”

Why would they? I mean, those dang nasty Hoosiers won the title and gosh darn it, that cannot stand. Pass it and read it later! Time to take the gloves off and bring the taxpayer cheese($$$) to the party. We must win at all costs!

Not a good development at all. Really stupid idea.
