Every coach handles it a little bit differently, but it makes sense to have universal policies [for discipline]. The NCAA is not going to do that. So there has to be pressure put on the universities, and I think you'll see more of this in the next year or two. |
First of all, they went through the whole situation before the season began. They indicated that what they saw would be adequate. Obviously they miscalculated. |
For 2007 and 2008 we are exploring several options, including Grambling State. We are excited about bringing this team to Houston and giving our football team and fans another home game and a very entertaining opponent. |
I appreciate the conference office acting upon my request to review the matter and their willingness to hold officials accountable for their work. |
I would guess that they would want to stay much longer (at Robertson) because they're going to save a lot of money. |
I've looked at facilities all over the country. And I think they will find our stadium is one of the best for soccer anywhere. |
It's left us in a real quandary. |
It's money that was here that is no longer here. You're talking about money at the gate, television money, bowl money. You're talking millions of dollars annually. |
Justice was served. The district attorney had a very powerful case and our attorneys did a great job. We are pleased this matter is behind us. |
Maybe this will pull everybody together. |
Our goal is to be right back as a national program - today. |
That part, I'm sure, will get squared away, right away. |
This was obviously something that we're happy to get behind us. It was a vindication for the entire situation. |
We feel good about the challenge of the schedule. We think Conference USA is going to be very competitive ... we feel pretty confident in meeting the challenges of this schedule. |
We just couldn't work everything out. We have no on-campus housing available. |
