I saw that. The coaching carousel has him taking the assistant's job at FAU. Jim Christian is supposed to get the Canisius job. As tight lipped as people are now in Calihan, who knows?

I can’t help but wonder if some people at the university and the trustees are looking at the cost of D1 athletics, the massive changes in college athletics, and questioning if continuing is truly in the best interest of the institution.
I’m not saying this is happening and they are going to announce an end of sports or transition to D2 anytime soon, but they’d be negligent not to have those discussions. With NIL, eased transfer rules, and the possibility of schools paying athletes directly in the future (see the Dartmouth basketball litigation), the landscape is ultra competitive. The cost of coaches salaries, facilities, scholarships, trainers and other staff, nutrition, etc. It’s astronomical when you think about it. Add to the fact that big time programs have the benefit of apparel deals, gate money, loyal donors. How does a small school like UDM compete in that environment? I suppose some people would say recent examples of success like Saint Peter’s and now even Oakland prove small programs can find a way. Although, I don’t feel either of those or other success stories are analogous to UDM.
The odds of UDM discontinuing D1 athletics right now are very low, but they’re not zero. Every day we don’t have a coach does make me wonder. One thing I’m sure of, this next coach very well could be our last chance to right the ship.

mooseguy1: Larry, I hope to meet you, too. I'll probably be sitting in the northwest corner with MC Sam. I'll probably be wearing a red Titans jacket or a heavier black coat if it's really cold. I didn't hear if Commissioner was coming up for the game.

uofdfan1983: I saw all of these guys play. Tullos and Cureton were both there during some of my years. We have 2 grads who deserve to have their number retired: JJ and Willie. Ray JR would have earned that if he had stayed one more year and led us to NCAA Tourney again
