Very good points Jim.

The Old Gym has a few basketball hoops and a court. Since facilities and accomodations don't matter, why not just move the men's basketball facilities back to the Old Gym and turn the AL into another Rec Plex?

There's some extra space in the basement of Johnston Hall, maybe we could move the Athletic Director's office over there. It would give him an opportunity to mingle with the regular faculty.

Lots of rumors tonight on Gopherhole that Shaka's extension with VCU is on hold, and that he may just take the Minn job if they can get practice facility commitment!

10PM Update

Shaka spent the day talking to both friends and family about what to do. I know for a fact Billy D has told him to go to UCLA. Many people are telling him to do what he thinks is best for his career. He really wants to take one of these jobs but Maya his wife is dead set on the city life in Richmond. She simply loves it.

Shaka's agent at one point thought a deal would get done today with VCU but it did NOT. Shaka is expected to visit with Norwood Teague tomorrow. I'm not sure where the meeting is whether Norwood is comming to Richmond or Shaka is going to MN.

People within VCU are starting to get very nervous as they expected this to be an easy process. The word is they thought they could get him quickly to agree to stay. They are having problems meeting many of his demands very few are about money. The thought is this is the last upgrade of a contract that is really possible for Smart at VCU. If he agrees to a deal here the thought is this is the BEST VCU can give him.

The rumor I'm hearing is Norwood has been calling big money donors all day/night to work out a deal for an out of the world practice facility. Perhaps some people on Gopher Hole have been contacted?

His wife is "dead set" on the city life in Richmond? I can't wait to see how this turns out, but I have a pretty good guess.
