Collins to Villanova rumors

For all the talk of greatness, I think CCC has gone from subpar to a very good coach flirting with greatness. Seems like a HOF former coach really built his career and his reputation by taking an inconsequential academic school in a power conference and turning them into an annual national powerhouse. So, if he has enough money, then looks like a great time to leverage his power for other things.

I would think it would be quite compelling to approach AD for a modest extension with little in pay raise. Rather a demand of a certain number of academic exemptions. As a former schollie athlete, I know the ad closely monitors academic progress and has tons of support in place. So if ccc starts producing bad STUDENT athletes, then at next turn, you reduce those exemptions and dare him to go.

But for now, I think it wise to trust ccc and the impressive athletic educational support system in play. And for ccc, this and some more nil opens the opportunity to achieve his mentor’s level.

I think if you checked you would find that DUKE had a pretty good history even before coach K. Not necessarily National Championships but final fours and runner ups under Bubas and even our own Bill Foster (a bunch of that time was during the period of UCLA dominance)

Fitz Suing NU Trial

I think they’ll settle for something close to Fritz’s original contract value. The contract just looks like this wasn’t covered under ‘for cause’. I doubt we’ll ever know the number.

The issues are that (1) NU didn’t follow their contractual protocol and (2) the contract had some particular provisions basically indexing Fitz’s compensation to the B1G market vs a stated dollar amount. It’s not as simple as “we would have paid you $X over the rest of your deal, will you take $Y just to make this all go away?” because the parties probably can’t even agree on $X.

RIP Paul Flatley

I was at NU when Paul Flatley was there. He was a terrific receiver. The game I will never forget was the 1962 opener against South Carolina in which Tom Myers completed his first 13 passes, many of them to Flatley. It was Tommy Myers' first game. He was a sophomore, but freshmen couldn't play back in those days Paul Flatley caught everything thrown in his general direction, much like he did when he played for the Vikings.
