The original, late great Mark Smith (my avatar!) told me Lou would give the players money especially when they were on the road. Of course not like NIL today, but still "under the table" and a violation. Even squeaky clean Lou Henson.
What is crazy is that their average margin of victory for their last 9 wins: 3.1
I haven’t seen many other OVC facilities in person but I imagine EIU’s is probably one of the worst. For such a Greek focused student body, the student interest in athletics is abysmal. It wasn’t even that great when Garoppolo was throwing video games stats on the field. I feel like they need a major facilities overhaul to spark a new culture in athletics.
Take out the strangulation portion. Just discard it for a moment.
Possibly because he got a job 2 months later. Maybe did not want the headache of a legal process and thought it was better to just move on.
Why would Mike want to do that?
I would hire him as an assistant coach. You don't need prior experience at UI.

Ok assume it is 100% self defense. Have you ever so vigorously defended yourself against your wife/gf/one-night stand that it left her cut, bruised, and with bite marks (and you unscathed)? If something like that happened to your daughter or sister, would you be ok with the excuse "well, it was in self-defense"?
I want to be clear that I am in no way defending Beard's actions. I find the situation reprehensible in general, but was responding to the insinuation that by not suing Texas, that he was actually admitting guilt or wrongdoing. The reality is that it was in his best interest to just let the situation go, regardless of wrongdoing or if he had a good case against Texas.
I think that's one possible interpretation, but another is that if he had sued the photos police took of his fiancé would have come out in discovery and would not have helped his future employment prospects.
or somewhere on staff. would he have interest in joining if offered the right position?
He would if there wasn't such a time commitment in the coaching profession
seems like a natural fit if he’d be interested. hope it happens
He sees how quickly one can be elevated from video coordinator to full assistant coach and target of Brad's yelling? Upward mobility!
I feel like having a passion for video analysis and spreading that knowledge is vastly different than getting paid to break down film in an extremely competitive and time-consuming role.
Plus it's not like he's getting nothing to do it now, as a podcaster/analyst. How much does a video coordinator make? It might not be a huge bump in pay, and it certainly would be a huge bump in responsibility, stress, and time consumption.
Bret’s looking into adding Nick Irvin, heard we’d beat anyone by 30 with him on staff.
It's the equivalent of Iowa football
Does he have a day job
