Barker’s salary at New Mexico State was $102,000 per year.
Barker’s name surfaced in an FBI college basketball corruption case while he was an assistant at Texas Christian, when he was accused of taking a bribe to steer players toward a certain agent and then failing to cooperate with the investigation. He was fired from TCU in March 2019.
According to the NCAA, Barker’s “acceptance of money in exchange for his agreement to steer players to the management company established a Level I unethical conduct violation. TCU accepted responsibility for the Level I violation. The assistant coach did not.”

In an interview after Wednesday’s satellite launch by his separate company Virgin Orbit, Branson told The Associated Press he has to be “so circumspect” in what he says about Virgin Galactic, a publicly traded company.
“All I can say is when the engineers tell me that I can go to space, I’m ready, fit and healthy to go,” Branson said. “So we’ll see.”
