Yes. Fran got an Elite 8 deal for a 2nd round exit. Now he is all ours for 7 years for better or worse.....and.....if not......U of I will owe likely a shit ton of money to him if they ever decide to part ways.

You got to hand it to Barta, the man is a smooth negotiator. o_O
 
Should he have held off giving McCaffrey an extension until after the tourney?
What he did is similar to throwing out a press release on a Friday night to keep the coverage and scrutiny down more. Having the B1G tournament and NCAA keeping more of the attention. Why the need to do that if it is so well deserved. Clearly thought about and a bit sneaky.

Just wanted to do it no matter what. Even if the B1G looks down and we go 1-1 in each tournament and have the most disappointing exit of any of the B1G teams it means little to him. Guess he has the mindset that the postseason is just gravy instead of the most important part where the most eyes are on you and your real reputation gets made. So, if you only care about the B1G season and the conference gets deemed so overrated did Fran deserve the extension ??
