Earlier this evening VCU's Anthony Grant confirmed that he had "agreed in principle" to Alabama's offer to become the Crimson Tide's next basketball coach. Reports say that Grant, who earned $850,000 in 2008-09 at VCU, stands to make two to three times that amount at Alabama.

Statement from UA Athletics Director Mal Moore:

"I am pleased to announce that we have reached an agreement in principle with Anthony Grant to become men's basketball coach at the University of Alabama. As our search progressed over the last few weeks it became readily apparent that Coach Grant is an excellent fit to lead our program. His record at Virginia Commonwealth is outstanding and his coaching background is filled with championship success at the collegiate level."
