Most of the big UTEP basketball games were NCAA tournament games. We were on TV because we had success, with the history of coach (Don) Haskins and the 1966 national championship team. If you're good, you'll be put on TV. If you're not good, you won't be on TV.

Number one, we have a much better team, a team that went to a bowl game, and we have a celebrity as a coach. Number two, we have a brand-new TV contract with extensive TV opportunities. That's helped a lot.

Our contract with him is built on the fact that if we do well, he does well, too.

I don't think money is much of a factor with Mike. He's made money in the past, and I think he's making more than he ever thought he would here. He seems comfortable with that.

Our entire team of elite professional drivers deserves congratulations for their achievements. They have once again distinguished themselves in the area of safety excellence. Our involvement in the National Truck Driving Championships is always special. The team's dedication to safety, their display of professional skill, and the celebration of Roadway pride and team spirit - these represent the strong commitment to safety and teamwork all Roadway employees share.

The only thing I would say is, sometimes when programs change coaches, he may have some other ideas about who he wants to play. But I don't think they do (want to play someone else). So right now, as we stand today, that's when the games are scheduled. And then you would take the (conference) teams we had last year, but at home.

That first year, we won four games, but that didn't indicate we'd win seven the next year. If I'm in charge of programming at ESPN, I'm not going to put UTEP on right now. You don't know where that's going. The next year, when we won seven, then you might consider putting (a UTEP game) on.

We are progressing nicely, but we have a long way to go. Currently, we are doing well enough that we didn't have any penalties. But it is still up to us in the future to not get any (penalties).

The NCAA bought the NIT. So it is a little different. The NCAA will be seeding the tournament. But we are prepared to host a home game if we get the opportunity. We've already turned in all the paper work and we are ready. Hopefully, we will get the opportunity.
