Lovie gets an extension

North Carolina is going to pay Fedora $12 million not to be their coach. Bunch of chickenshits calling the shots in Champaign. It's year 3 and they aren't going to be any better in the trenches next year.

They have a basketball issue, too. They may only have the bandwidth to deal with one.

Considering the money their AD has hemorrhaged the last two fiscal years, I'd say you are correct. BBall would be the cheaper fix in the short term but this decision only loses ground when you look at the landscape of their division. This was a year they should have stepped forward in terms of the relative strength of the B10 West and it being Lovie's 3rd year. If Brohm decides to stay at Purdue, Illinois will be picked to finish last in that division....again. I guess that win vs the Gophers saved his job.
