UB isn’t making a profit of its football team, and that’s not abnormal for Mid-Major conferences. So is it worth it for universities? The answer isn’t clear.
The University at Buffalo’s athletic department spends more money than any other school in the Mid-American Conference – but its coaches are making less money than most other coaches in the MAC.
Bobby Hurley announced on Colin Cowherd’s ESPN Radio show, “The Herd,” that he will return as Buffalo’s men’s head basketball coach next season.
UB Athletics is ready to make men’s basketball coach Bobby Hurley the highest paid coach in the Mid-American Conference.
Spectrum File Photo I remember sitting in my first college journalism class. My palms were sweaty and legs were twitching.
Spectrum File Photo At 6 p.m. Sunday, I received one of the worst messages you want to get while in standstill traffic on Route 17 heading back to UB from Long Island ? Athletic Director Danny White is set to announce its 25th head football coach Monday at 1 p.m. I immediately went to my phone, unable to get any official word on who the coach may be except that he was ?successful? with ?head coaching experience.? But as reports starting coming out, little by little (as I helplessly refreshed Twitter, conducted Google searches and tried my best to get information from only a smart phone in very spotty coverage) and the rumor was Lance Leipold, a D-III football coach, my first thought was: How far has this program fallen in less than two years? Yes, Buffalo isn?t a hotspot for football.
UB introduced Lance Leipold as the 25th head coach in school history Monday. He went 106-6 as a Division-III head coach. Chad Cooper, The Spectrum Buffalo?s new head football coach knows a thing or two about winning. UB Athletics introduced Lance Leipold as the 25th head football coach Monday afternoon in Alumni Arena.
It?s been more than 45 days since Buffalo fired Jeff Quinn and now that the season?s officially over, I wouldn?t be surprised if Athletic Director Danny White already has his next coach all but signed.
Can we take a minute to step back and look at the big picture? Yes, the Buffalo football team?s matchup against Kent State was canceled.
John Oliver, who was supposed to speak at UB Nov. 18, has been postponed to Dec. 3 due to weather concerns. Courtesy of Steve Jennings When Andrew McFadden and Nick Palumbo stood on line the first day John Oliver tickets were being issued out to students, they didn?t even consider the possibility of it being ?snowed out.? But before Oliver made it to Buffalo Nov.
