This Thursday, as you watch Rutgers and Louisville, listen closely to the announcers on ESPN. As they praise the Scarlet Knights for their program's turn around, see if they mention the sacrifices that the University has made in order to be "prestigious".

They won't.

And, he's a top candidate to leave and assume a position at another school because of his successes.

Money well spent?
