# | Kevin Giltner expected to be Wofford's next head basketball coach And the fact they used this to fire two coaches and alienate the entire team by publicly announcing the players were ruled ineligible by the NCAA (even though the NCAA had not even been contacted) rather than take those minimal steps to fix an administrative oversight would make me really leery of having anything to do with working under them.
His first game at Pitt was vs ND and game day was there so we went. The best sign was "free wannstache rides."
Also as soon as the talking head said he moved everyone like I said above I turned to my friend and told him that ND will running all over Pitt (they had a good running back but not a great team). Turns out im smarter than Dave.

# | VT BoV Approves increase of athletics budget by $47.1m this year, growing to a total budget of $212m in 2029 I was thinking Stanford based on how many Olympic sports they do.
I'm also encouraged by this
At least Wannstedt could blame it on poor visibility, looking over his mustache.
Whoa, while I said i would still pay if Joe upped the cost, I dont think my wife will let me pay enough to buy stadium lights.

Now thats some great quarterbackin' hair
What in the Dave Wannstedt are we doing here? Moving DEs to DT, Mike's to DE, OLBs to Mike, Safeties to OLBs, CBs to Safeties and then well I guess that explains our pass coverage since there's no one to play CB.
meal plans were on campus students only
That the meals plans couldn't be used if living off-campus...and needed to adjust their plans. It was a simple fix, one that could have easily been remedied by "refunding" the extra $100 or so and putting them in the correct off-campus meal plan category.
And yeah, they can transfer now in the 30-day window, but I believe it's similar to football where they wouldn't be eligible until the spring semester. (I think this is different than the original question where they could play a few games for team A, then go to Christmas break say, transfer, and stack a team for the March Madness run in the spring...)
I think the point is that we're now 0-2 in hiring unproven coaches. We can't afford another one.
Counterpoint - A number of those coaches weren't proven Power Conference winners when they were hired at their current jobs:
-Kyle Whittingham (first head coaching job)
-Matt Campbell
-Chris Klieman (there's talk of him being on the hot seat; his previous experience was FCS)
-Sonny Dykes (19-30 record at Cal from 2013-14; SMU was in the AAC when he made the move to TCU)
-Marcus Freeman (first head coaching job)
-Dan Lanning (first head coaching job)
-Dabo Swinney (first head coaching job)
-Ryan Day (first head coaching job)
-Kirby Smart (first head coaching job)

# | Kevin Giltner expected to be Wofford's next head basketball coach They should be able to enroll and play this season since the season hasn't started. They would likely have to wait to play until spring classes start or next quarter if on quarter system. Players are considering suing the school for misinformation that forced them to break a lease on an apartment and other actions taken by Wofford. The food issue violated a school bylaw not NCAA rules.
Players were told they would be in upperclassmen dorms but were placed in freshman dorms so decided to move off campus but were never told by the school that the meal plans were on campus students only.

# | Kevin Giltner expected to be Wofford's next head basketball coach What about the 30 day post firing of a coach window? Technically you could enroll for spring semester if they are given this loophole.
Maybe it was motivation to get them to remember to fake an injury when they are supposed to...,,
ACC fines Syracuse $25,000 for faking injuries in win over Clemson
They all do it and let's be honest, they aren't going to stop for a $25K fine. Not enough teeth to matter
like Clemson's never faked an injury
This was new, put in this season because of how this issue was perceived last season. I believe all schools agreed to it being a video review process by a committee and subject to the ruling of the committee so don't think they have much room to contest it.
No, because the transfer portal isn't open until after the championship game. You cannot transfer mid-season and be immediately eligible.
Hell, even Clemson would have beaten Wofford.
Nice touch!!!!

# | Kevin Giltner expected to be Wofford's next head basketball coach This actually brings up an important question, can you start the year on one team and then finish it on another team? Can't really do it in football (for now) because you need to enroll but for basketball it could work, bring in some dudes to try and make a run at the tourney as long as you early season record is not bad.
Did anybody else see that Syracuse has supposedly been fined $25K for fake injury timeouts against Clemson. My response if I was Syracuse would be "prove it" and refuse to pay.

# | VT BoV Approves increase of athletics budget by $47.1m this year, growing to a total budget of $212m in 2029 The impact to Blacksburg, New River, Tech's long term plans are all riding on Tech still being a big draw.
Doesn't that leave the DT's playing Corner to take it full circle? Might explain how they always get beat over the top.
