    I agree, but if the money wasn't so much better, is it worth the extra headache? I guess coaches do want to challenge themselves against better competition. It will be interesting to see who they get

    Let's not get crazy. The AAC was the 6th best conference this season. The Horizon was 18th out of 32 total conferences. BB&T Arena is great, but what about the other facilities? The weight room, etc.? What about the support staff? The Under Armour deal? UC also was probably paying Mick in the mid to high 2 mill range I think and Brannen is making around $370K.

    I live right down the road from NKU, have been to games there many times, driven through campus a lot. I’ve also attended many games at UC and used to live across Clifton Ace from campus.....IMHO it’s not even close. NKU is a nice school (my daughter graduated from there), but UC is a MAJOR university. The facilities, the pay, the perks, the competition, the fan support, the position is head and shoulders above what NKU will EVER be. I’m sure that Brannon wouldn’t even hesitate to say yes to UC.

    Of course Brannen would never say no to UC, but my God it would be funny if he did. Stupid, but awesome.

    I am truly shocked that they chose him. I get he has made the tournament many times but they expect someone to get to a final four and potentially win a national championship. The guy has made what... 1 sweet 16.

    Then there is his personality. Just doesn’t seem like a natural fit for a west coast job. especially UCLA.

    i could see him being a candidate for the St. John’s or Syracuse job (if those jobs were to open up), but UCLA?

    What if Mark Schmidt from St. Bonaventure accepted? I seriously doubt he would but a former X assistant and great guy would be ironic.

    Pat Kelsey!

    Edit: fat chance but would be interesting.

    I really think they end up with Brannen.
