Link (http://90-year-old World War II veteran Walter Bunker (L) will receive his undergraduate liberal arts degree from Xavier on May 17. He will be escorted at the commencement ceremony by Iraq War veteran Ryan Hoefer (R) who will also receive his degree in liberal arts. ‪#‎xugrad14‬ ‪#‎AllForOne‬ ‪#‎OneForAll‬)

Kenny Payne, who was promoted to associate head coach, now has a deal with $1 million. He won’t be making that annually — it will be spread out over the two years of his contract — but there are a number of head coaches at NCAA tournament-caliber programs that don’t make that much money. Payne was already making $350,000 annually before he got his $150,000 raise.
John Robic, who has been on staff with Calipari for 15 seasons at UMass, Memphis and now Kentucky, will be making $375,000 a year, as will newly-hired Barry Rohrssen. Rohrssen replaced new South Florida head coach Orlando Antigua, who made $275,000 last season.

That's a MOR cue if I've ever seen one.

Kenny Payne hit the tying 3 for Louisville against Xavier with a handful of seconds remaining at Riverfront Coliseum in the Preseason NIT in 1988. Tyrone Hill then made a driving layup at the buzzer to win the game for Xavier. That's the first Xavier game I ever saw in person....and I was heartbroken.

I was at that game too. One of the best ever. Afterward, we partied like it was....errr...1988.

Funny thing, well maybe not so funny, is that game happened before any current Xavier student was even born. We've been good for a long, long time.

Yep. For every rule there is an exception. Congrats to Walter, but he also got 47 credits in the Air Force so I don't think he was actually walking the mall recently between classes.

Still, his whole family is Xavier Blue through and through. Great legacy.
