Bob Knight will give one Texas Tech student the chance to play on his team in a reality show hosted by the Hall of Fame coach.

Sixteen students will attend ``Knight School,'' the name of the show set to air on ESPN in February, and Knight will whittle the class to one during six one-hour episodes. Filming will begin in late September.

That player will have endured what all Knight players do -- long hours of drills, conditioning and instruction -- and will have chance to be a walk-on for the 2006-07 season.

``From a public relations standpoint, this couldn't be any better for Texas Tech,'' Knight said.

Later in the articlem, a producer of the show ios quoted as calling it "one of those great ideas you hear."

And they said the sanctity of marriage was in trouble. :eyes:

1. This is kinda of funny

It's a lot like other tv reality shows, I guess.

It is good for TTU though. I went to school there, and I still have relatives who live in Lubbock. They tell me that Knight is not a big deal in Lubbock, but outside of the town, he is, or tries to portray himself as such.

I'll be watching. :D
