I cant imagine this bodes well for him with his players at Purdue.

I am sure the players don't care about anything other than he is staying...he will get to come out and make a big deal about this being his home, heart, etc, and it will end.

I was hoping he would leave. It would only help Iowa along in the process of moving up the Big 10. Oh well it will happen either way I suppose.

He was never going to leave his dream job at Purdue. He used Missouri's offer to leverage a raise for himself and his assistants.

I don't know if that is necessarily true.

so you're saying he pulled one of Captain Kirk's old tricks?

maybe he was seriously considering it, but i doubt it, unless Purdue wasn't willing to pony up a bit more. that, and he'd be leaving for a school in a very shaky conference situation.

Good news for the Hawks. Keeping the overrated fraud that is Matt Painter in the B10 can only help Iowa, right Jon?
