Didn't Archie Miller get $4mil ER yr from Indiana? I guess that will drop HC3GM down one spot.

And our basketball program being worth $48.9 mil is impressive, especially considering our "current" conference.

Archie will be $3m per year, right behind HCGM

When you're in the top 10 to start the season and have late season opportunities against Cincinnati (#14 in that article), UConn, Houston, Memphis, and SMU, then so he it! The opportunity for greatness is upon us and ther will be no excuse from the media to take that away.

So, an unproven freshman, a role player in Vick, the traveling man Svi and Bragg who may or may not be in jail by the time next season rolls around = the number 4 team in the country?

They also add a top 40 guard and Azubukhe is back. I'm not arguing that they will be top 10, but let's speak with facts. They won't be in my top 10, but this is what is currently expected by the media to be in place:

Vick
Svi
Preston
Azubuhke
Top 30 guard
...and the author is currently counting on Bragg and maybe Graham.

I saw something about him being in a car wreck -- while texting.
