Yes. He did when he was at Ohio. You won't have to refollow him or anything. It'll do it automatically.

Anyone know what qualifies someone to be a "graduate assistant" like Dante was for Xavier?

My understanding is they can only be a GA for 2 seasons. I don't even know if they get paid, and if they do, I think it is not much of a paycheck.

In spite of his April Fools joke, don't see Burrell coming back for a GA position, he is making good money and has a nice career going.

Generally you have to be pursuing a graduate degree at the University. Most pay a stipend (i saw Akron is paying $10K) plus tuition waiver.

And you do have to attend classes and be enrolled in school, correct? That was always my assumption. It was one of the reasons I knew Burrell's April Fools prank was a joke. He isn't going to go back to school.

Xavier won't replace Dante with another coach either, it will have to be a GA. We don't have a GA every year, although we have had more lately than we used to.

Correct. I think you have to go to class... So we can count you out?

Congrats Dante! Perhaps he climbs the coaching ladder and we see him on the Muskie bench for a third time?

Brad Redford will be the new GA. You heard it here first. ;-)

If true (and I think it would be awesome) X will lose it's best "Time-Out" entertainment in the history of Cintas (with apologies to the Kahns Krazies).
