See that highlighted name? That's coach Smart, citizens. The amount of money VCU would need to come up with just to be competitive with the current market value of coaches with his credentials would be enormous.

The only way coach Smart returns is if he has some sense of loyalty to the program (and he wants an even bigger payday next year).
