Follow the money? Who bankrolls that Costal athletic program? They certainly throw money at athletics. And, watching this Samford-Furman game, who are the hired guns on that Samford team that’s been talked about here?

Ever heard of Joe Moglia? His "involvement" has been well-documented. The St. Clairs have also thrown in serious coinage. And they've also gone with that big firm for NIL management.
And I KNEW you'd immediately bring up that $$$$ angle. It's certainly important, but dang, man.........it's virtually every post with you.

No, never hear of those people. It was a rhetorical, probably sarcastic, question in that Coastal seems to throw a disproportionate amount of money at athletics. So, the Western coach is headed to Coastal without money being factored in? Maybe he’s a beachcomber in his spare time — or a deep sea fisherman? What else controls DI college athletics these days, especially football and basketball, except money? I’m waiting.

Man, not trying to rag on you, but you can easily research this on your own. The Moglia stuff was a big deal a few years back.
OF COURSE money is part of the equation; always is. Your questions are more or less implied in all such stories and coaching moves, and so, unless it's something extraordinary, no point in interjecting it.. And since it was rhetorical/sarcastic, it just gets old. Just imo. And seriously......no personal insult or offense intended. I'll try not to mention it again. Apology if this is striking the wrong tone.....

Just fyi:

We can’t shoot. Geez. If we start hitting anything we’ll be fine

So many fouls

I have not seen the team fight so hard until now. Really refusing to fold and rising to the moment. Good job, coach. Way to go, players. Go Bucs!

OMG
