As expected with the tragic passing of Terrence.

Does anyone on this board or Orange and Blue News think that leaving players and parents with broken commitments play into this ? Let’s face it Antigua or Chin will get paid at either place. Do it won’t come down to money in my opinion.

Lastly, this is a 1 year deal for Antigua as he will be a head coach at a Power 5 School Next year.

You really think a guy that didn't have much success as a head coach and was fired for violations occurring under his watch is in line for a P5 job??

Poster joined yesterday that is his first ever post. He is an Illini fan with wishful thinking.

Far as all the evidence I can see, points to both OA & Chin coming to Uk. Course, that’s just what is out in the social media ether but still seems compelling at least at this point. We will see soon I suppose.

a big NO on Cal being able to pick any successor

and while I think Antigua is a step up from Barbee, I'm never big on hiring recycled guys.

Antiqua was the worst head coach at the University of South Florida in their history and that is saying a mouthful. The only good one that had was Lee Rose and he coached 50 years ago.

Under no circumstances should Antigua be considered a candidate for UK head coach. It would be insane to even consider such a thing

Exactly. If Payne didn't get an offer to be a head coach at a POwer 5 then O certainly isn't going to. If he comes to UK I think he tries to get that old mojo back with Cal and waits until the right job is offered as Payne did. Maybe 3-4 years at least.

At least. Cal isn’t gonna do all this to get an assistant for one freaking year and deal with all this hassle again, a year later.

Kansas fan here. First, I am very sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with his family and BBN.
I hope you get Coach O back. I want Kentucky strong. I very much look forward to KU UK games and think it is a great budding rivalry.

And bringing him back may set up Coach Calipari’s replacement (which I hope will be years from now. )

Peace BBN.

Aren’t you the guy that played on Gabriels high school team and broke the news that he was coming here ?

Illinois ranked 29th with $118.6 million in revenue vs $120.2 million in expenses for a roughly $1.6 million dollar loss.

Might want to google Shahid Khan. His net worth is greater than the sum of all of your donors.

Damn I didn’t realize he was a UIUC booster? Familiar with him as he’s an alum of my fraternity. Thought he focused more on Jaguars/Fulham but that def makes things more interesting. Seems like this could go either way.

Why would he pay players at IU? That makes no sense.

Are we?

I was just replying to your Shaka Chan reference regarding how much money he has compared to our donors. Like you said makes no sense to even mention it.

IU is Indiana (would be like calling Kentucky KU), and donors often pay for part of salaries.
