Getting back to CTT - I hope you all remember her support during the Imus situation. Earlier that season we were scheduled to play ASU in a destination tourney and someone (I think the sister of a player) died and ASU couldn't play. RU did not require a forfeit, simply not showing up for the game either.
When Imus happened, CTT circulated a petition at ASU signed by a very large number of professors and such supporting Rutgers, and I think it was printed in several papers.
As an Arizona fan, ASU is considered the enemy. There are nasty nicknames on both sides, I generally stick to Arizona Normal School (ASU's original name) or "that school up north", but I have never rooted against CTT and their women's basketball team unless they were playing Arizona.
Yes, there are some plum jobs available. Don't forget Syracuse (Felisha Legette-Jack is a candidate, apparently) and also Mississippi State which appears ready to move on from their interim; their head coach left at the beginning of the season to battle breast cancer.
