2015: FIU suspended for NCAA violations

What if RG's "other opportunities" included the AD position at FIU?

By the way, FIU is ineligible for next year's MBB post-season due to recurring low APR scores.

I wonder who he is bringing in as recruits? I cannot imagine any other reason for hiring him, and with *two* new conference mates that were burned by this guy, I'd have expected FIU to know better than to hire the guy...

Wow.

According to JD, Brian Eskilkson assistant coach/recruiting from Stanford will be added to Braun's staff. He's been there three years.

Don't know anything about the guy, but I generally support hiring from Stanford. Just wish Braun also worked at getting guys with Texas connections rather than California.

Isiah Thomas was a total disaster for them.

It worked out well for Richard Pitino coached one year and is now at Minnesota.

When hasn't Isiah been a disaster?

I would hope the Autry Army would have a context specific welcome planned for the first FIU visit to Tudor...
