Surprising news from WKU. Coach Ray Harper has resigned and 3 players have been suspended. No other details. Anybody have any inside info?
 
Good! Couldn't happen to a more deserving individual.
The nonsense he had his players pull in our game last year in Bowling Green turned me against their basketball team. Hopefully they will make a good hire( as they did in football) .

Not that I have any allegiance to WKU but I think there has always been a mutual respect between the 2 athletic departments

Glad Harper's rinky dink ass is gone. So long dork.

Talked to a frat bro in BG this AM.

Said the lid is still tight down there. Nothing out yet.

They were expecting Harper to be let go in June but this was unexpected.

Said he'll let me know if he hears anything.

One thing, it must not be a legal/police action or it would be public record.
 
It's being reported Harper will still get paid until the end of his contract which is in June. Sure wish I could quit a job and get paid an additional 90 days or so. Must be nice.

You need a contract.
True, but the story on ESPN made it sound like Harper resigned, period. Harper said his resignation was "in the best interests of the program; a program that I care deeply about."

The AD is choosing to honor the contract to the end of it which is June 30th. Since Harper just quit, he didn't have to.

Any word if Darrin Horn's name has been bandied about as a replacement?

I have followed WKU since childhood and rooted for them until they pulled that BS a couple of years ago.

Hope Little Trav gets it. The deck was stacked against him at Okie State.

I am a WKU grad and I am hoping Townsend, the asst coach at Kansas gets a chance. He played PG at Western and his wife is from Nashville so he has some emotional ties to the job, unlike Travis Ford.
