I hope not! NM won't be able to compete with the big money schools though.

Oregon is building the most expensive basketball facility in the country, $220 million complex. They news they're going after Alford the day after they announce this is no coincidence.

Phil Knight's arena has been in construction for awhile. Not sure why they'd go after Alford either, I think it's been proven what he can (or more precisely can't) accomplish in a major conference where you're generally not allowed to recruit a certain type of player. Especially considering all the drama with their football program recently. I think they'll go after a bigger name - Dixon will get a call and there might be a shot there with Pitt possibly going to the Big 11.

Maybe they go after Sean Miller, I mean, he is the biggest named coach in all of the NCAA's right?

Man, Alford means a lot to UNM. Hope he stays.

If it's all about the $ then I can see Alford going to Oregon. They seem to have plenty.

It seems like they'd try to get Mark Few. He's apparently said before he wants to stay with the Zags, but with it being his alma matter and them building that insane complex, you'd have to think that job would be appealing. But maybe Few is happy being the king of the small pond.
