When North Carolina State thought it would take at least $2 million to find a […]

I wish this one could be bronzed for the ages. Terry Holland in October 27, 2008’s The Sporting News The administration, with $100 million or more recently invested in facilities and a $50 million annual budget, cannot afford to keep a coach who is not producing a return on that investment.
