West Virginia is a hard sell brother. Probably gotta get a young single coach. Not too many coaches with families willing to live there

How long did you live in Morgantown?

I visited the area for three weeks. In my opinion it's a hard sell for a family man or family woman. How long have you been there?

15 years. Went to WVU, worked at WVU and I can tell you it's a great place to live and work. I don't know what "the area" is but visiting somewhere doesn't give you a full, complete or accurate picture of how a place is. I've seen kids who have grown up in college towns, go to the university in the same town and realize: "oh wow I never knew this place, or this when I was growing up." You are certainly entitled to your opinion but in making such a statement without context of your experience or knowledge is, well, a tad misleading.
So to recap for our viewers: a guy who visited "the area" for three weeks says: "you don't want to live there." Myself who both lived and worked at WVU says: it's a fantastic town, great people and a nice place for families.

Wow didn't realize people had such polarizing opinions on Morgantown. Also - funny enough I now live in Michigan and it's a great place. Lots of places here VERY similar to WV so I'm not sure why we're all into throwing stones at each other.
I don't know what I expected trying to give actual useful information on here. But honestly go ahead and flame away. Besides living there I've been to a lot of places and there are far worse college towns to raise a family. But to each his own.

All good my man. WVU and West Virginia itself deals with enough stereotypes from all around that, as you can see, we can be a bit defensive and pretty loyal.
But now back to the point of the thread. If I'm not mistaken is Baylor the first P5 to announce or at least make clear a slate of 9 full time paid coaches? I can't imagine they'll be the last. If your department has the budget for it it makes sense. But - if I'm an AD and my XC/Track program has 9 full time paid coaches - I better see some damn good results.

With the new staffing rules, there will be a much greater divide between the Haves and the Have-nots, at least for D1.
