Yeah if he goes it wont be because money. He will be rich either way. If he leaves Bama for Indiana it comes down to one of 2 things. He likes the thought of mixing it up with a super competitive conference and with 9 current teams in the tournament that brings that appeal. But I doubt thats the attraction. The #1 reason would be the Adolph Rupp Bear Bryant effect. It is well known Kentucky disrespected the Bear to go all in with Rupp as the alpha. At Bama if Oats feels like he will never get a shot to be the schools royalty and he thinks his style will succeed at Indiana he will be the alpha no matter how much Tom Allen does with their football team. But Oats doesn't strike me as a guy who thinks that way. So I assume he won't entertain an offer from Indiana.We can only hope but bama got more money than indy!
Indiana basketball died the day they fired Bob Knight
Roy will never be fired. He’s won more than Dean, although not many UNC fans will acknowledge that Roy could be a better coach than the Dirtless man.
