Why would Steve Forbes leave Wake for Wichita State? I get that it’s an easier gig than being at the also ran ACC Carolina school. But he will get a very long leash at Wake. Just look how long they held on to Danny Manning past his sell by date.

I get that. I guess we are well past the days where there were destination conferences/jobs in college sports.

I said Capel would possibly leave for a job like Richmond (I know, its not open, just an example) and everyone thought that was crazy. The idea is, get another 5 years of "safety" and win your way back up

I know. Probably bigger than you can at Wake.

This isn’t a lateral or step down. Wichita will increase either’s salaries and give them better resources to be successful.

Blah. The new American is trash. Its a 1 bid league. Major step down

One, it’s not a one bid league.
Two, they’ll pay them 4 million
Three, they’ll have much better NIL
Four, Wichita only took a step back because they hired so poorly after Marshall
Five, wake and Miss state are in 1 bid leagues. Conference within conferences. Not even in the “real ACC” or “real SEC”

Oh no! I used your stupid logic against you
