Bobby Knight's reality TV show

Bobby Knight is the former coach of Indiana. Brief digression. Other than the chair throwing incident and punching incident that got him fired, what is most memorable to me is his 1975-76 team (comprised of Kent Benson, Scott May and others), which went undefeated and won the NCAA tourney. They did it by defeating Michigan in the finals. It still hurts. End of digression.

Anyway, believe it or not, Knight is to have his own reality show. Excerpt:

ESPN announced last week that Knight would choose a walk-on from a field of 16 to fill the last roster slot on his 2006-7 Red Raiders basketball team.

The six-part 'Knight School' will start filming next month on the campus in Lubbock, Tex., but it will not be seen until February.

There is an 'Apprentice'-like sound to it - Knight will be able to cut 15 players and presumably teach them defense and life lessons - but the winner will not run anything or get a cent if he wins. He will be the 12th man on the team, but will it be a dream come true or a college player's nightmare?
