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 article, a producer of the show is quoted as calling it "one of those great ideas you hear."

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

4. This is going to be fucking awesome!

This isn't vile, this will probably be one of the funniest things on TV. Hopefully, Knight goes on one of his famous tirades. That will put it over the top in greatness.
