So Billy to Kentucky a go? lol
Aren't we moving like.....100 steps ahead? I know that's what we do, but a whole of would have to go on for things to get to where our program is involved.
Yup that's the word going around Phoenix right now ...
Do you think Tyler ( @illini0440 ) will still be an insider for us if his dad gets another job?!
Billy to Kentucky?

This you?
Billy definitely on the shortlist. Idk if he’d go back to the college game yet and probs wouldn’t decide until after nba playoffs. Would think nothing is imminent at least
Can he take the Bulls front office with him too? They all need to go.
That's an upgrade.
Shortest carousel in history?
Yep. But it's Kentucky
Cal is currently operating on an out-of-date business model though
Well, that would put an abrupt end to the speculation. Billy needs to get out of the dumpster fire that is the Bulls. That would make total sense for him. The question would be, does he want to get involved in recruiting again? It's a whole different deal now.
Lord knows the Bulls ain’t the end all be all that’s for sure
yes, it's more like the pro game now, so.....

Has an NBA coach ever left mid season to take a college job? Would be truly fitting for that disaster of a franchise.
Mussels abandoning the USC job to go to Kentucky? Lol
Edit: Just saw the Billy Donovan gif. Yeah, that’s a wow.
Holy hell would Donovan to Kentucky be insane. This is madness. IMO, that would be a major upgrade coaching wise over Cal.

It is, but it suits a former NBA coach who has a lot of NIL $$$
Considering how everything played out, I'd argue BU should be elated with how things were handled, particularly in how BU got to avoid getting tangled up in this saga. This was/is a complex case that was automatically going to trigger legal and university athletic department and student conduct policies the minute that he got charged. Sure, you can argue university policies showed some flaws that should be remedied, but you have to consider the current policies on the books that were freely available for everyone to scrutizne had never been put to this unique test.Anyway, the subsequent suspension proves to have a minor impact on the course of the season, and the suspension is even cut short. BU cleans up in regard to the latter, with the university mounting a token legal defense leading to a ruling which then allows BU to mostly avoid criticism with playing him due to the court order. We play games, the stories simmer but dont boil over, the team gels really well and develops a true connection, and the whole situation really didn't become the disastrous implosion that it could have very well become. Brad Underwood ended up with the opportunity to play for a national championship with a full strength team that was performing at a high level and came up just short. And for that, BU should be greatful.
Bulls season is almost over
