FWIW, there has been a small push among the Vanderbilt media and supporters to have them switch to the spread option. As far as I can tell the movement has not gathered any steam with the university's athletic department, but they are a very equivalent school to us and even though they...
More evidence is coming out showing that the claims against CJP were fabricated:

While I agree with your overall sentiment, don’t discount the amount of swag my man Zaza Pachulia brought to the court when he was playing for the Hawks...
I believe we will see a little more balance, but not a ton. CJP has said multiple times that one of his tendencies as a coach is to only play 7-8 guys. He has said that he is trying to improve on this and hopefully we are developing enough depth to allow him to do so, but old habits die hard.
Banks more than likely will be redshirted due to transfer rules. I see it as something like:
1 - Alvarado
2 - Devoe
3 - Haywood / Phillips
4 - No clue, so many choices (Wright / Cole / Moore / Sjolund)
5 - Gueye
According to the AJC article about the intiative, $12M of the funds raised will be going towards operations. TStan mentioned in the article that several of our varsity sports teams are understaffed, so I am sure that some of that budget will go to them, but I would be shocked if a good bit of...
I would imagine this would work just as well when recruiting his eventual replacement as it will with recruiting players. An upgrade in facilities along with a noticeable commitment from the school to better athletics will make the job more appealing to future prospects.
As mentioned over in the football forum (https://gtswarm.com/threads/125m-capital-campaign-launch.15003/), GT has launched a new fundraising campaign for athletics and one of the listed projects is a renovation for the basketball locker room facilities as rendered below:
The basketball locker rooms are currently located inside the Luck building which is adjacent/connected to McCamish. I believe the rendering depicts a complete overhaul of the Luck building and not just the current locker rooms.
Looks like CPJ is gonna have to find a new office... which I assume will be inside the new Edge building. It looks like they plan on turning his old space into a dining area.

The independent probe that GT initiated to look into the sexual assault allegations against CJP has come back in CJP's favor:

Edited to add tweet:
My wife shared an interesting story with me today. One of her coworkers is a VT alum and she goes to every VT athletics related event that happens in Atlanta. Recently, she went to see Buzz Williams talk and came away incredibly discouraged. Apparently he came in and told the group that he was...
