Gotta be a tough job to sell to a top coach because they know they have zero chance to ever win a conference title.

True, for the foreseeable future. However with solid recruiting and coaching, 2nd or 3rd place is achievable. BTW, 2nd or 3rd place will still get you an NCAA tournament invite.

I'm surprised it's taken this long. It's not like RR announced at the conference tournament she was leaving. They had some notice.

Second is the new first.
