I just heard on Tulsa TV that OU is about to hire Jeff Capel (who?) of VCU as head basketball coach. I know,

Cal signed a new contract this afternoon, and Tommy West's new deal (bumping his salary up from the $800k base he previously had and going through 2010) was finally finished today, as well.

All is right with the world, and NCSU can focus their efforts on John Brady or whomever.

Wait!!

I was assured by some really old guy (Og), that OU oil money was bringing Calipari to Norman.

Interesting. Word is leaking out now that Cal's salary is actually only going to be a $1.3mil base, despite NCSU's $2mil offer. It appears the sticking point really was assistant salaries, in addition to the whole "R.C. futzing around" aspect that made Cal put the screws to him.

Also, Tommy West's new base is $925k, with incentives that could take him past $1mil; yet again, the big deal with him was upping the assistants' pay. Cool beans.
