I honestly can't recall it ever happening before. That's why I called "BS" on the story. It smells of "Give me a raise". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama_Bull Posted March 13, 2017 Group: Member Topic Count: 1,207 Content Count: 18,470 Reputation: 899 Days Won: 44 Joined: 10/14/2003 Share Posted March 13, 2017 ...According to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation, Dambrot passed on the opportunity to take over the University of South Florida men’s program, which offered the Akron native a significant raise to move south. Dambrot’s maintained his loyalty to UA and the program despite being linked to other job openings, including Duquesne, in the past few years. Reports of USF’s interest were reported by the Tampa Bay Times on Saturday night, soon after the Zips lost in the MAC Tournament championship game. There would have been plenty of incentive for Dambrot to go, most of all being the fact that USF, which finished 7-23 this season, plays in the American Athletic Conference. Unlike the MAC, the AAC usually receives multiple invitations to the NCAA Tournament and USF has a facility — the USF Sun Dome — that underwent a renovation in the past five years and seats 10,000. It’s a worst-kept secret that Rhodes Arena is in need of a significant overhaul or replacement. Word is that behind the scenes there are those working diligently to accomplish that at UA. But the fact that Dambrot is getting offers should surprise no one. A significant part of any program is the facilities it can offer athletes. If the community at large appreciates what Dambrot has accomplished with the Zips, it needs to show support. George M. Thomas can be reached at gmthomas@thebeaconjournal.com.

It's a school with no football, so he's the captain of THE team at the school. No way FGCU lets him walk. He can flirt a little with a few schools and pump his salary up and they're sure to match or exceed it. Edited March 14, 2017 by JTrue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're still spending like that, FGCU doesn't stand a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
