And in another story that is just breaking now-
Wichita State's Gregg Marshall will make a special announcement tonight on his weekly coach's show-

Though some are reporting that he is close to getting the NC State job, I think it is more likely he will announce that he is staying at Wichita State.

wow only 150K a year. I think any valley school could have done better than that.

1.2 mil a year is a steal if you ask me. Taking a team to the final 4 certainly warrants a payday, and Shaka probably could have done evem better had he wanted to.

Loyalty is awesome..
