Reminder
FAU pays their coach 50% LESS than UTEP
FAU plays in front of 4-8x LESS fans than UTEP does
FAU has won as many NCAA Tournament games in this NCAA Tournament as UTEP has since 1986.
We should just be happy with the most expensive tickets ever, the worst conference ever, and 3 NCAA Tournaments in 31 years though!
Where is he going? Only open jobs that would be a step up are Cal, Penn St, Temple, Texas Tech, and Texas. South Florida is close to hiring Utah St’s coach. Surely he wouldn’t leave FAU for Utah St. Tech is close to hiring UNT’s. Doubt he would leave for UNT either.Bunch of good guards and a nice big. All young too. May should be gone after their last game. Now rooting for UCONN.
You picked FAU to the Final Four in your bracket no doubt.Reminder

Utah St hired its last 2 coaches from South Dakota and UMBC. Neither of which were coming off a Final 4 run.Why not?
No, but that’s the beauty of upsets. If everyone knew Purdue would lose, they or Memphis would have been picked more often to so.You picked FAU to the Final Four in your bracket no doubt.

No that is not what I am saying. Utah St is going to lose their coach to USF. They got their last 2 coaches from smaller schools, none of which made the Final 4. FAU will pay May all they can to keep him. I don’t really see a AAC coach coming off a F4 appearance to get a job like Utah St. Especially since he has no ties to the area or school.So you're saying he won't leave for more money?

They have already said they plan on upping his salary. I just don’t think he would leave for Utah St.What if FAU can't match the offers?

Gotta keep rooting for them, at least for the money distribution.
It is a nice story, and I am not suggesting or demanding that UTEP should be able to get to the Final 4. It’s highly likely UTEP will never make it to or past the Elite 8 again.Nice Cinderella story but that’s not the norm. More often than not if we find some unknown coach and pay him half of what we pay Golding the unknown coach will not make the final four.
All the coaches in the elite 8 except May are making over 1.3 million per year. That’s the real formula for success. Hire a good coach and pay him his worth.
Right. And whether or not he leaves soon they have already paid him more.Nice Cinderella story but that’s not the norm. More often than not if we find some unknown coach and pay him half of what we pay Golding the unknown coach will not make the final four.

Have they lost anybody?Why hasn't FAUs recruiting picked up??
I dont think they had an NIL last season, but they have one now.I also think that missing a spot in the national championship game by a last second shot probably also helped FAU keep all their players this year too. As for any NIL deals, I would expect that tourney run also helped with the donor money as well. Winning and winning on that stage is a game changer. I would be curious what the FAU NIL money was last year compared to this year.
They've done some sort of trading card thing before, haven't they? Years ago?FAU is doing trading cards as a revenue source. Could UTEP do something like that? Somebody at UTEP please start thinking outside the box on sources of revenue.
