W&M athletic director is a former Dartmouth quarterback who obviously knows the league well. He wasted no time after letting the last coach go and probably had his sites set on Earl from the get-go. The Tribe has never been to the NCAA Tournament, so while Earl inherits a big job they may erect a statue of him if they ever get to the Dance.

Sydney Johnson went from making 200k to 600k.

Brian Earl is a smart guy. He and his staff did a tremendous job, getting Cornell into the top half of the league. Time to go. Restrictive admissions policies, brutal weather, campus indifference to athletics, but despite these hurdles, got it done. W & M is a beautiful place with a low ceiling, Ivy-centric AD, perfect landing strip.

re Campus indifference - changing as related to basketball -
Newman arena attendance close to capacity and raukus for Princeton and Yale late season home games.

The more I read, the more sense this makes. I had forgotten that W&M is in Williamsburg, such a beautiful and charming location. And an excellent school. As mentioned, the AD is a Dartmouth football player, and even the president in her bio claims she is an athlete. (A little digging: she played Ultimate Frisbee at Carlton, and coached the sport successfully in her academic career. Please no frisbee comments.)

I'd be very surprised if W&M tripled Earl's salary the way Fairfield reportedly did with Johnson.

It's not my impression that W&M takes basketball that seriously...
