Illinois Hires OK St's Brad Underwood

[Madbiker]

as next HC. Was only at OK State for 1 year. Money talks.

Yikes. Was just texting my old boss today(OK St) alum that they finally had a good coach.

Big 10 $ > Big 12 $

Chit like this why I hate the NCAA. His kids can't transfer and move onto another year but this guy can pack up and go to Illinois after one year for money. His players don't get paid.

Let kids transfer when their coach leaves. Maybe block the school the coach goes to but allow kids free movement. They aren't paid.

He didn't have the decency to tell the school he was leaving. They found out through Twitter.

Brad Underwood just pulled the move Bob Huggins did at Kansas State

Big 10 $ > Big 12 $

T. Boone Pickens himself can outspend any athletic department.

This one really surprises me. I thought he would stay in Big 12 country where he grew up for the long haul, especially as noted with Pickens being able to pay him anything he wants.

Please, please let this happen! Then we can play Okl St next year so JB can get some revenge on him as a retirement gift.

College basketball world applauds Illinois' hiring of Underwood

Gosh no wonder Underwood left. He was only paid $1 million/year at OSU. Not sure how they expect to compete at that pay rate in Stillwater.
