I wonder how the KSU AD and fans feel. If Weber doesn't leak into the tourney last minute, how likely would he have been canned and our new coach would be in Manhattan?
We just suspended usual University hiring procedures to announce the hiring of a winning Power Five coach at a salary that exceeds all but two other Big Ten schools (one, technically, since Crean got fired) in a process that closed in under a week, required no search committee, faculty advisory committee, search firm, or anything of the kind, and took place, it appears, on private jets zipping around the country and at various locales on the dime of our high-dollar boosters. Not even a whiff of it leaked until hours beforehand. And the coach is not a minority.
How many circa-2009ish hobby horses of Illini fans are crushed in that one paragraph?
We're still a loser for the time being, only winning cures that. But we're no longer a joke.
Well if he is destined for that K-State job, $8.5 million is a mighty nice start.
I'm willing to guess Huggy walks out and sticks you with the bill.
But let's not pretend this is a huge commitment, and at 6 years x $3 mil, something of a gamble.
Yes, hopefully this will tamp down some of those thinking he might bolt for K-State next year. I don't see K-State putting out $12M (buyout + $3.5M for first year) for their first year after firing Weber...
I've always gotten a chuckle out of watching Okie State. Their arena is so "historic" that they have to announce that it's historic, all over the walls.
Wow. The rider reducing the buyout if JW is no longer at UIUC is interesting as well.
It is actually an awesome place. GI is a fantastic venue.

Gregg Marshall's wife was escorted from the game after loss to Kentucky. Great coach but not a class act. Think we got the right guy.
My son in law is a KSU fan, and he's pissed. He wanted Weber gone last year and replaced with UWood.
For anyone worried bout underwood leaving after years one or two.
year 1) 8.5 year 2) 7.4 year 3) 6.3 The buyouts in his contract. I don't see a Kansas state paying 8.5 7.4 or 6.3
And if they do, adding that buyout onto the resources we've already demonstrated is Captain Insane-o money. We're in fine shape either way.
Maybe Kansas washes out on Thursday and Kansas State poaches the Jayhawks coach on Friday. Would he settle for that?
WHAT?!?!? Self leaving KU for KSU because he didn't make the elite 8? I want some of what you're smoking.
