I'm sure names like Ross (maybe Harding) will be going pro once NCAAs are over. Kind of surprising!

Thrilled over this hire!!!

Too redundant, like Mississippi and Tallahassee.

It'll be interesting to see what Tennessee coughed up to lure Ross from A&T. Salary-wise he was already making basically the same as Alford-Sullivan($230K base vs $225K for Ross). I suspect it took a tad more than $230,000 to get him to say yes.

All that said he's a great fit. Terrific coach, with deep roots(recruiting and otherwise) in the region.

Yes, Im happy for him but a part of me would have loved to see him stay at A&T and become tracks version of Nick Saban, building a decades long powerhouse at a school that most people have never heard of. But, I realize that's not how the world works and the prestige and money of coaching at a program like Tennessee would be what most people aspire to. Good for him.

on the negative side, hate to see one of the few women in any NCAA sport replaced by a man in a combined program.

Yes I too understand him leaving. But all money ain't good money. I hope he spoke to JJ Clark, before he accepted this job. But anyway, all the best to him.

I would imagine that it took him at least $400K to get him to leave A&T.

What does that mean?

You have to produce. She didn't.

I would think so.
