Mo Hicks almost certainly wouldn't take the job. It would very likely be a pay cut for him.
Sandy is a possibility, but not sure what his mindset is in terms of wanting to be a college coach.
Where does all Mo's money come from? Not Rice, I assume. He really makes that much from AAU? I think most of us are in the wrong line of work if that's the case.
As Trabinowitz mentioned, he gets it via Nike, whether it's funneled through Gauchos or Rice Athletics. According to a source, the Gauchos receive the highest amount of sponsorship money of any AAU program that
Nike sponsors. More importantly, I'd like for SI or Slam, if they ever employ an investigative journalist and not just do the usual fluff, to do a look into how certain programs allocate the sponsorship money.
As for the aforementioned Sandy, he gets the vast majority of his sponsorship money from Al Harrington/Protege, but Kyrie, his latest star, doesn't wear their shoes.
