This could come back to bite me in the ass later, but why the hell is Riley still on the team? I'm sorry, but to RS as a sophomore because you're not ready to play at this level probably means you're not cut out for this level. He's just eating a scholarship.
I don't think Beth will let him go but I do think Fran may leave.
They will care if they start winning. Look what happened to wbb. Just gotta win.
With an enormous amount of money remaining on his extended contract, there's no way Fran is gonna leave on his own. The university will have to buy him out.
I thought I read or heard somewhere that he redshirting this year with the intention to transfer. Fran is doing him a favor by not playing him and burning up anymore of his eligibility. That said, I don't believe he is actively in the portal either, so maybe I heard that wrong.
Okay if that's the case, that's bad. Unless he had some sort of health issue or family issue, you don't do that if you're Fran. You're literally wasting a spot where he could've gone out and gotten a player from the portal. And I realize that he's horrible at doing that very thing, but simply not trying is ridiculous.
It's my hope that they did that to give him 2 years to play at another school
I would have to go back and look, but hasn't Fran left scholarships on the table back to back years now?
It's the same reason I date ugly chicks...lack of options. If Fran can't get somebody better, reward the kid. It's not Fran's money.
Yep, that is how almost every coach gets fired nowadays. ISU did the same with Prohm.
And It's really not that much compared to other coaches. I think his buyout after this year is approximately 7 million. I lean that he'll be back next year but I think it's 60/40
Would be $8.52 million after this year. Beth either needs to pay the buyout or add a year into his contract after this year since he will only have 4 years remaining after this year. Without reupping him for one more year, the buyout next year would be $6.48 million. So she would save 2 million by firing him next if she doesn’t extend him a year. So she will have a decision to make.
Wow. They are basically giving them away and they still can’t get even close to filling it. Heck if I was in the area I’d buy a $6 ticket to just watching some college basketball.
