This is utter craziness.
It's rumoured that a BIG booster at Oklahoma State is prepared to do about whatever it takes to land Bill Self as the Cowboys next coach. I have no idea what this guy did to make his money, but giving $165 million to an athletic department has to be one of the most unworthy donations I've ever heard of...That said, giving Bill Self $20million to coach your team is just as unworthy.
Here's the deal, if Pickens starts looking Painter's way, I'll chip in an extra $100. That and loyalty would keep him in West Lafayette. Maybe not, in fact, there's no freaking way. How could anyone blame Self or any other coach for leaving his current agreement for an arrangement like what OSU is offering?
