    I talked to a source REALLY close to Sampson this weekend. Only thing left to do was agree on the $.

    He expected it to happen this week.

    They have agreed on the money. They only need to get the approval from the Regents... which is very likely to happen.

    Meh...

    Not April Fools. That is what he told me and he is a position to know from the UofH side. Supposedly they interviewed John Lucas as well. I haven't heard from him today.

    No surprises here. Will be interesting to see how the UH program develops over the coming years.

    The program has the potential to be very good with Sampson.
