They are going to still spend the lions share on Football and Men's Basketball, with Baseball, Women's Basketball, Softball getting what's left over.
Let's all root for Virginia to lose tonight.
I don't know if that necessarily knocks them out of a Regional but it would prevent them from playing their way into a lock this week. Beat case scenario, UVA isn't picked and we announce O'Connor next week sometime.
We will not announce a new HC until we are done playing. That I can 100% guarantee you.Quote:

I mean I could be wrong, but it would floor me if we announced a HC while our team was still playing, or had yet to play. My gut, and some rumblings I have heard, tells me the hire will break June 3rd, be announced by the university June 4th, and the press conference will be June 5th. Unless we make a Super then all bets are off when it will be announced.Quote:

I would say the odds are that we'll announce around the time the CWS is played just because I think our candidates will likely be involved in Super Regionals most likely unless our top target is eliminated at that point.Quote:

Wes Johnson just got a raise and extension through 2031 with Georgia.
Good for Wes. I kind of always figured his candidacy was for a raiseQuote:

I think it's O'Conner.
