re: Auburn: You ready to pay Saban/Calipari money for a bb coach?

If Louisville is willing to offer Bruce Pearl Saban type money then Auburn should wish him a fond farewell on his way out the door.

Auburn is doing great this year. It really is a magical run for them. But basketball is the 4th most popular sport at Auburn behind football, more football, and even more football.

If they offer that type of money, he should jump ship. Don't even wait till the end of the season to get on that gravy train. Auburn, however, would be foolish to spend that sort of money on basketball.

And before people get all up in arms... unless he was coming off a 4 peat of National titles I would say Arkansas would be foolish to spend that type of money on a basketball coach as well.

It wouldn't be foolish. I think some people have figured out the two sports can co-exist. When they are both doing well they feed off each other.
