The Anthony Grant saga continued Wednesday, as an all-out bidding war has been reported to be taking place for the head basketball coach at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Alabama reportedly has offered between $2.1 and $2.4 million per year, according to a Richmond CBS affiliate.

The report also indicated VCU countered with a raise in Grant’s salary that would pay over $1 million per year to stay with the Rams.

On Wednesday, Grant, and his wife Christina, flew to Tuscaloosa, Ala., to meet with Alabama officials, and to take a campus tour. The meeting marked the second time the two parties have met, the first occurring Sunday in Virginia, the report said. Grant has been rumored to be a top candidate for jobs at Alabama, Georgia and Virginia. It was reported Georgia offered Grant on Sunday, but University officials quickly denied any such offer.

In addition, the Birmingham News’ Kevin Scarbinsky reported that Parker Executive Search, the search firm Georgia hired to tap into potential coaching candidates, did something that turned Grant away from coaching the Bulldogs.

There are still candidates competing in the NCAA tournament that Georgia may target.

Mike Anderson at Missouri has declined to comment on the vacancies at Georgia and Alabama, opting to focus on tonight’s Sweet 16 match up with Memphis. Sean Miller at Xavier, Pittsburgh’s Jamie Dixon and Villanova coach Jay Wright each have been classified as long-shot type hires for the Bulldogs. Others outside of those remaining in the NCAA tournament rumored to be targets are Frank Haith at Miami, Oliver Purnell at Clemson and Dayton’s Brian Gregory.
