The long shot candidate to take over TCU men's basketball, Pittsburgh coach Jamie Dixon, is out of TCU’s price range, according to several sources at the school.
“He is not a viable candidate at this time,” said one source.
Dixon’s financial demands would be too much for TCU. He makes over $1.7 million at Pittsburg

Del Conte told TCU's student online news site that the school would not overpay for a coach.
"There’s coaches that say, ‘Hey, I want to come in and make a crazy amount of money,’” Del Conte told TCU360. “We’re just not going to do that. We have to be mindful of who we are.

Do you think TCU paid him at least $1.2 million, doubling the past coach's salary?
