Such small thinking, maybe that's why buzz is leaving...we cut our coaches In a lot of oil gas, real estate, hedge funds we are involved in....

So they lose 30% to 50% of their money on top of everything else.

If you type "Buzz Williams" into a Yahoo search, the autosearch results are as follows...

Buzz Williams basketball
Buzz Williams Arkansas
Buzz Williams dance
Buzz Williams Texas A&M
Buzz Williams salary
Buzz Williams to Arkansas
Buzz Williams Oklahoma

See a trend there? A year from now, I fully expect "Buzz Williams SMU" to be just as laughable.

The difference between the elite schools and the mid markets, those schools already have those guys on those deals...

You have to have some Milwaukee alumni who can hook these guys up...maybe a Racine Kringle big whig....

When I think of elite schools SMU is right at the top of the list....

That was a netjets plane in Milw this morning, not a private plane.  Nice try.

FYI - next week when you on the VT board making things up about Seth Greenberg tell them that you use netjets and not private planes so it hides the true intentions.  That will make you sound more knowledgeable.

Some undisputable facts...

-SMU basketball sucks
-SMU has to grossly overpay someone even halfway decent to come there to coach (again, because SMU basketball sucks)
-SMU is a football school (even only kinda/sorta good at that), SMU basketball still sucks
-SMU has to compete for recruits with Texas/Big 12/SEC, and those recruits often go to those other schools (again, because SMU basketball sucks)
-Even if Buzz Williams decides to go there, SMU basketball will still suck.

All this SMU and money talk is making the NCAA squirmy.

As a side not, this thread is now the most replied to thread in Hangin' at the Al history.

We can compare Basketball stats all you want, but I am not going to throw around useless financial statistics and pretend to know the details of a contract that doesn't even exist yet, but you seem to be good at spending your wealthy alumni's money.

If Buzz leaves for SMU it is for no other reason than the administration saying "you better take the next job that offers you" due to their feeling on the way player conduct has been handled by him over the last couple years.  There is no way he chooses to leave for a loser bball program like SMU over Marquette.  Just no way.  

I don't believe he has done anything wrong on the player conduct issues, but if he leaves, that has to be the only reason.

Yep.  Gotta give him credit.... Kept a few posters going.  The biggest clue was the time they woke up from their nap, and started posting again.

Gerald J Ford ... he was worth about $6 billion a few years.  Down to $1 billion now and he need a TARP bail-out to keep that.  

If he made a billion Monday, he doubled his net worth.  Maybe now he can pay back the U.S. taxpayer that is currently paying for that private jet he carts around football coaches that get $10 million/year to win the compass bowl.
