Good move by them. Now we just need ECU to get a new coach. Can’t have dead weight programs in the conference.
Surprised they moved this quickly but he was not long for this job. Maybe they’re taking an extended look at Murry Bartow.
I think the losing, the potential sanctions, and the players fleeing the program were all too much.
Yeah, it was an absurd amount of turnover. Losing Jahmal McMurray (who torched us at Hofheinz last year) was probably the nail in the coffin for Antigua.
There were some who advocated Houston hire Antigua back in the day.

It indicates Antigua, who resigned last July, provided the benefits (not totaling more than $511) while the recruits were being tutored at USF’s College of Medicine by the sister-in-law of Gerald Gillion, then special assistant to former coach Orlando Antigua.
Additionally, Oliver Antigua initially provided false information to investigators before coming clean, the report says.
USF already has self-imposed three penalties: a $5,000 fine, withholding a coach from off-campus recruiting for 50 days (Oliver Antigua) and a reduction from 13 to 12 scholarships (last season). Whether the NCAA levels further penalties remains to be seen.
