By the way, to prevent Skip from PMing me and asking my thoughts about it, the Cal situation is basically due to AD R.C. Johnson being a complete ****up, which will end up costing us either hundreds of thousands of dollars per year or one of the best coaches in school history, and possibly -- or rather, hopefully -- R.C. his job.
Long story short, R.C. futzed around on offering Cal the extension (when he SHOULD have had one ready by the time we reached the Sweet 16), and then when he did get it together, he offered a pathetic $50k/yr raise for Cal and unsatisfactory increases for the assistants at first (apparently, there's still some resentment over strength coach Ray Oliver having to take a job with the Bengals rather than stay at Memphis a couple of years ago, due to salary issues). This caused Cal to take the NCSU offer more seriously, and word is that he's doing this to, at the very least, embarrass and screw with R.C. -- a difficult thing for fans to go through, but honestly, R.C. deserves it. He's probably a big part of why we were excluded from the BE, and he's made a habit of doing the idiotic thing far too frequently. In the end, I expect Cal to take a ~$1.7 mil/yr base and stay in Memphis, but without R.C.'s negligence and incompetence, none of this would have happened. The sooner we get rid of him and hire a capable AD, the better.

The great Spook Murphy made the biggest mistake of his career when he lowballed Gene Bartow after he took us to the NCAA title game in 1973. What did Clean Gene do? He bolted for a much worse Illinois job, which he left after one year for UCLA. Those who don't learn from history, are doomed to be it.

I hear Calipari is close to going to NC State. I'd better PM Psi to see what he thinks of it.
