I was looking at his record, only 1 S16, multiple 2nd round exits.......so, a bit better than Fran, but pretty comparable overall.Apparently just didn't win enough? I guess every school has it's expectations and standards

For sure severance pay in Major college sports is pretty good. If Fran had taken the Maryland job instead of Iowa he would be up to his elbows in Doritos$5 million to sit on my couch in my tighty whiteys, eat Doritos, and watch the Flintstones?
Sign me the F up for that.
No one would have to argue too hard for me to step down. Hmmm...work 80+ hours a week managing a B1G basketball team and travel non-stop, with people and reporters criticizing me 24/7, or take some cash and go somewhere and do some tv commentary as a dick job (he'll have to pay back his buyout if he coaches during the length of the contract he's voiding.
I was going to mention B10 tourney titles, but Fran never won one, nor did Sturgeon. Kinda forgot (selectively) that that occurred in Stevies reign.I'd say his Big Ten title in 2019-2020 is a pretty big separator - we're on our way towards half a century since having one of those...
