Ford Still Owes: According to an Eastern Kentucky administrator, former men’s basketball coach Travis Ford owes the school more than $225,000 for his contract buyout. The sum represents the money remaining on his deal at the school, which was extended to April 30, 2007. Ford’s new contract at Massachusetts is a five-year deal worth $200,000 annually that could double with incentives. Ford guided the Colonels to their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 26 years and a school-record 22 wins, with the season ending in a 72-64 loss to Kentucky in Indianapolis. Former West Virginia assistant Jeff Neubauer was hired this past Monday to succeed Ford. [4/17/05]
