ACCBoards

I'm curious to know how her meetings with Alleva went (in terms of a counter offer) after she returned from Texas. I was thinking for as long as it took, she would probably stay.

Without knowing the details, it's hard for me to identify why this would happen. I've read a lot of the speculation over the past couple of weeks, but I really what to know how Texas would be able to make a better offer/opportunity. Hopefully the details will be forthcoming in the next week.






I know that Austin is a really nice place..... but still.

I hear she makes about a half a mill at Duke and was going to be offered a mill to come to TX.  Duke couldn't touch that or wouldnt touch it.  After all these years, K only makes about 1.2M.

Good luck to her.

Can't blame her. Good luck to her there. I wish Duke would have stepped up and kept her. She will be hard to replace.

i read someone that k makes close to $3 mil per.

what Coach K makes is not relevant to this situation. I keep seeing people, especially Duke haters, bring up that Coach K and his assistants make so much, yet Gail makes so little, it's an apples to oranges argument. The bottom line is Coach K and his staff, and Duke men's basketball, bring in a TON of money to the school, and the women's team, no matter how well they've played the last decade or so, lose money hand over fist..

I hate to see her leave.

I heard maybe it had something to do with a job for her husband? Regardless, I am bummed to see her go.

Yes, this is true, however, women's basketball is making small strides to becoming money makers.  Most schools will probably never be able to make money on their women's sports. But if tv continues to show more women's games each year, the schools and conferences that have been working hardest will eventually reap the rewards.
