Painter accepts Missouri job?

[spliff45]

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch he supposedly has taken the job.

Painter expected to accept Mizzou offer today

This'll open up a BT job in the Hooiser state for Steve Alford.

I doubt Alford will coach at Purdue.

Same here, but it would be funny.

IU would probably go into meltdown and Purdue fans would lose their minds. It would be hilarious!

I wouldn't trust the STL Post quite yet. They have passed wrong info about this story already. I will believe it when I see (Read or hear) it. They claimed Painter returned to West Lafayette on Tuesday but that was wrong.

If true (and I have my doubts), this would be a puzzling move on Painter's part. Unless there is something behind the scenes ($?) making him unhappy at Purdue, I really don't see how he would be better off at Mizzou. Unless they have lower standards for getting kids in or something? I don't know that to be true, I'm just trying to find a reason why this would make sense.
