[NU Sports] Bets anyone?

But who says she'll want to leave?  Usually, coaches leave because they 
think they can have better success at another school.  That's why we're 
always worried about losing football and basketball coaches.  But let 
me remind you that we just won the national championship in lacrosse.  
And note that this is a sport that's dominated a lot by the Ivy League 
schools, who don't offer athletic scholarships, so recruiting must be a 
little different than others sports.

Would she leave just for the prestige of another school?  I think only 
if she's upset with where she is.
