This from a non-CBB board I frequent:
”I worked at FAU for a few years, including for May's first 2 years where I worked with May in regards to his players and their academic progress.
He really cared about his players and their studies... this doesn't sound revelatory but I can tell you that in some other schools I have worked for (cough.... ahem, FSU) this is really not the case.
In my experience with him he was a really good person who was genuinely concerned about his players' academic progress.
Just wild to experience this, I still know a whole slew of people at the school and everybody is nothing short of stunned by what has happened in the past few weeks.
It is almost unfathomable how he built this program..... I could tell you a thousand stories about their lack of resources, lack of overall local interest, and where this program was when he got here.
He built this out of literally nothing.”
cool to hear things like this. Even in the on-court postgame the first thing May said about the guy who iced the game with FTs was about the student-athlete’s engineering degree.
And it seems to this point a different situation than Archie and Dayton given the difference in resources
