i don't know how to pull up the whole article...but here's the gist:

lenn robbins says "multiple highly placed sources...in the athletic department, on the board of trustees and in the booster sector...told the post that roberts will not be retained for a seventh season." "he has as much integrity as anyone i've known, said one source...that's what makes it so hard."

sources also tell robbins norm is getting a 700-thousand to 800-thousand dollar buyout.

what happened to "final four reasons..."

I thought the buyout was reduced.  That's an awesome golden parachute.

Hopefully a call is made to Ron Roberts shortly after this is completed

I just got into my office and I am reading the post.  What a great way to start off the day by seeing that SJU is indeed going to get rid of Norm.  It is only 8a and when I am still half asleep I am wide awake now because of this news.  They put together a very interesting list of canidates which I like a lot of them.  Also the article says and I quote "Several sources at SJU said the university was prepared to offer a long term(six yrs) lucrative(1.5 million annually) deal to the right canidate.  This is a start to what I feel could be greatness again. 

PS.  For those who like to read about SJU recruiting and other big east news.  Check out  the NBE basketball site.  It projects next years break out stars in the league.  We have two guys burrell and Hardy.
