My suspicion is that Barta has nothing to do with it.
If true, he should either...A) Keep his mouth shutB) Hold a press conference to announce he no longer has possession of his jewelsC) Tell the people with the cash to have a little sit-down with Jim DelaneyBarta has no business making this decision on his own. And, given the history of some of the coaches in this conference, Delaney has no business holding anything against Fran or the program OR the school.This is absolutely crap. Part of me would LOVE to see Fran take the Illinois or Nebraska job, or better yet, a job that opens up in ACC or Big East or Big 12 or Pac 12 or SEC, just to show that either the coach has input, or they can hire a puppet and play with John Lick-caliber players if done The Delaney Way/The Barta Way.Fran SHOULD throw another chair. It should be at Barta's or Delaney's office window.
