Our athletic department sucks. It has for a long time and I see no improvements except for hiring Broadway. We all know about Coach Bibbs. She's Super. Other than that we suck.
We just lost our track coach. You know he ain't use to that mumbo jumbo stuff they put down in our athletic department. He is from U C L A. He probably couldn't take it anymore. Shame, Shame, Shame.

I am not downgrading our student athletes because they are super. They are just caught up in the middle of a poor athletic administration at A&T who fail to support our teams properly. They want the coaches to perform miracles with under funded budgets for their programs.
I am still not going to give Eaves a pass though. Everyone claims he brings so much money to A&T because of the money games with big universities. He should use some of that money and get his program together.

Like I told my mom, if you lose by 20 to an Eaves coached team you deserve to get fired

Professor,
Eaves is really in your ear. Whispering sweet nothings. He has been saying the same thing for the past 4 years.
Total agreecance with Oldshool - basketball is not football we dont need a Coach with proven D1 experience. There are a laundry list of canidates that are assistans or DII / DIII that would jump out the gym for a chance to make six figures and Coach a DI program. Not to mention some top tier high school coaches.
You can not take away the fact that Eaves has a posotive effect on the APR. But his players diagress and the man is not a good coach plain and simple.
In addition all this Eaves brings in money is blowing smoke. Do you not think every MEAC team that goes on the road and plays a list of top tier DI programs does not get paid. I have heard several people on this board say "eaves is a master at negotiating those contracts". So you mean to tell me the Pac 10 schools, Big 10 schools etc. will pay us substainaly more than they would Coppin, UMES, Morgan, etc. That dog dont hunt !!!!

Frisco and Oleschool, I am not questioning your opinion on rather Eaves can coach a Divison I basketball team but the rest of the stuff you two are putting is wholly incorrect.
I don't think neither of you can tell us what Eaves gets for playing Akron or Evansville.
I used to track what some of the top MEAC teams were getting for their non-conference games but I have not done so in a couple of years. A&T got paid more than any of the MEAC teams. In some cases like WSSU and NCCU, A&T was getting close to double what those schools were receiving. The info wasn't hard to get because the local newspaper would report on what the local HBCUs were guaranteed. N&R haven't given out the info on A&T but an Aggie can get the info. I can tell ya that NC State offered A&T more than they offered NCCU.
Moton may turn out to be a good coach but he hasn't won jack as of yet and if he continues to get transfers, NCCU will not qualify for post-season regardless of the wins. Right now their APR is in the dumps but they have about 4 more years to get it up.
And Div I BB is like Div I football, you need a proven coach if you want to ensure success in wins; see Morgan State. Morgan State has their problems with APR. One more bad year and they will be banned from post-season unless they get a waiver.
If you want to win in men's BB then take a look at Hampton U and not NCCU, for Pete's sake.

And when Eaves leaves, whomever the next coach is will be at min of 150 to 160 K per year. Where is that extra money coming from c'mon, professor. if we pay our next men's coach that much money then our admins are total idiots and they all need to be fired. where do ya'll come up with these outrageous salaries? there's no reason whatsoever for us to pay anybody that much money to coach our men. nobody in the meac (that i'm aware of) makes that kind of money unless its todd bozeman. nobody in the ciaa makes that kind of money. so why should we pay that kind of salary to anyone?

And Div I BB is like Div I football, you need a proven coach if you want to ensure success in wins; see Morgan State. Morgan State has their problems with APR. One more bad year and they will be banned from post-season unless they get a waiver. jazz, its not true at all that d1 bb is like d1 football. 2 totally different monsters. and, you're disproving your own point. morgan has a "proven" coach, so why would you use morgan as an apr example if you feel we need a proven coach? maybe i'm not understanding what you're trying to say. again, my only point was to dispel the notion that we must have a proven head coach who will demand a higher salary than eaves. folks, coaching basketball is a heck of a lot easier to do than coaching football. coaching basketball is not rocket science by any stretch. so i don't understand why some of ya'll think its so hard to find an excellent men's basketball coach if eaves has to be replaced. here's an exercise for some of ya'll who think it'll be so hard to replace eaves with a better coach for less salary. do a little internet research and find out how many college basketball jobs there are across the country, both vacant and occupied. then find out how many coaches have a college coaching job, plus how many that don't. add the total coaches together compared to the total number of jobs and you'll see my point. there's way more coaches available than there are jobs. its a jobs market, not a coaches market. the market dictates who gets a job and how much they make, not the other way around. and if eaves is such a great contract negotiator, then remove him from his coaching duties and give him a job negotiating contracts for a&t. pay him for something that you say he does well, not for something he does poorly. matter of fact, fire mcalpin and give his job to eaves since he's such a great contract negotiator...

Aggie Jazz,
I could see a State or UNC paying an in-state opponent more $. But refresh my memory I dont think we have played an in-state ACC school for 3 or 4 years.
I dont understand why a Big 10 school or Pac 10 school would pay us more $ - As an example - Michigan can play Del State for $100k or us for $135k ? Why would they pay more ? In most cases their fans are not familiar with either team.

For those of us from Durham, it's nothing new for NCCU to hype the HELL out of their basketball program. They've done it since the beginning of time. Every year you always heard how "NCCU basketball is going to be a beast THIS year!". They actually believed it too. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. January is almost upon us.
