If I'm not mistaken Anthony Grant asked the administration to speak to Billy Donovan when he left FL, as well as with Alabama prior to his leaving so as not to violate that portion of his contract.

Actually I'd prefer to handle it the way Capel did than to have our coach paraded around Alabama's campus and have the video online for the world to see. I always felt that was a bit of a slap in our face.
I don't agree with that. They both did basically the same thing in leaving for another job. Fans have just had more time to heal since Capel left. Although we may have been burned at the end, I think they both cared about VCU just not as much as they cared about themselves. It would be naive to expect any thing else of them, but at the same time it would be nice for them to show a little bit of appreciation. However if Grant's record had been 25-76 rather than the other way around there is no way we would have kept him around for a fourth season either, so how could we expect him to stay after that much success. That is just the nature of the beast right now.Mercury said:Mistachill said:I thought everybody already knew this. That's the reason these schools use search firms.
