I really doubt Mason had anything to do with the UA anymore.

Many schools allow the AD to do their own admissions, as long as they meet the minimum requirements.

But you still need to go to class and pass classes competing ...

I imagine UA will pick up a couple of mid-major players, although the results last time were less than impressive with Townsend and ADO.

Oakland won 8 less games without Townsend and missed the tourney. Campbell had about the same losing record with and without ADO.

Not that Lloyd would leave, he won't, but you can make darn sure his agent is out there stirring things up.

How many coaches make noises about leaving just to get a raise?

Look at Barnes with the WBB program when it was leaked Auburn had interest. On the hot seat, and now the UA has her back.
