Doesn't pass the smell test. Smells like a planted story by somebody close to Bennett to squeeze more $$$ out of VA, who I have losing in the first round BTW.

This is what many believe as well...Bennett is looking to get a raise from UVA. But, if the Illini do land him that's a hell of a coup.

Tony Bennett is worth $110 million. Does anybody really think he will move from the stage to the court for $4.8 million/year? The guy can sing, but why aren't we asking if he can coach?

 

[Hoosker Du]

He's still free on YouTube...

Won't be $5 mil/year, but the UNCW coach is about to get a handsome sum. They look great so far.

Also, isn't he like 100 years old?!

He "could be" the next Illini coach.

I really doubt he tweets worth a darn too.

Per Google, he is a solid 90. I bet he is still spry.

"I left my heart ... in ChampaignDashUrbana. Flat on a boring prairie... it calls to me." Makes me cry everytime. They just don't write lyrics like that anymore. Don't go, Tony!

Oklahoma State and Virginia are close I guess.

didn't see that one coming. never been to champaign, but it has to be nicer than stillwater - it's a shith0le.

Now Doug Gottlieb can start lobbying for the Oklahoma State job yet again. Can't imagine why OSU never goes for an I-can't-stop-talking head with zero coaching experience.

Well.... he DID play there. So they would automatically win every game forever!

That's true - what was I thinking? Get Big Country Reeves and Joey Graham as assistants, and the Pokes will be a dynasty.
