Does Sanders taking the Colorado job help or hurt us keeping Walters? Also, I know Lunney got a pay raise, but I didn't see anything for Walters. May have missed it but curious as to why he didn't get one this year as well.

He wasn’t ready to negotiate a new extension until he knew what his opportunities were going to be.

My guess is they’re in contract discussions with Walters now, as Walters explores other offers. If Walters chooses to stick with IL, I’m sure he’ll get a big fat raise.

Pretty interesting. This is a question that isn't likely to get asked too much at big ten schools. These TV contracts are absolute game changers in this area.

Interesting clause in that contract says they owe him 75% of the remainder in the event they fire him for cause. Is that typical?

Looks like they just made an error when transferring over the details from Howell's tweets. Paying 75% of the remaining contract when fired for cause would be UNPRECEDENTED and would create a lot of unwanted consequences.

Agreed and I'd hope there would be something in place to prevent a public entity from issuing a contract with a clause like that.

Just had to get it in writing before the recruiting violations get reported years down the road....
