I can't say why but I know Babers is very committed to SU for 3 years. SU will also need to pay him more plus his assistants in 2019 (plus a Dome makeover helps). If he can recruit better players giving him the tools needed to win the ACC conference, he will stay longer.  One of his main goals is to win a NC.  Devito is a lynchpin for him to stay and develop that talent...if Devito signs his NLI in Feb along with general recruiting getting better (already going in right direction), chances are Babers stays longer.

He is in a conference that is probably the easiest path to get his team into the playoffs.  Certainly beating Lville, Clemson & FSU is a tall task but will provide enough quality wins to get him to his goal. I don't see any other conference that is now stable that also has an easier and clearer path to get to the conference championship and playoffs (B12 is not stable without a network channel).

There you have it - that's the plan.  If Devito goes elsewhere (already being hounded by other universities), not sure where we stand with Babers.  However, the NE is wide open for recruiting.  BC, UConn, Rutgers, Penn St (even Pitt more of a D oriented team) are all down, Babers knows this another reason he picked SU - less recruiting competition.  Nuff said.
