4 Big 10 wins in 2 years and Crean gets paid just over $4,000,000.00. I'd say that's good work if you can find it. I'd also say that I could coach my way to 4 wins in two years in the Big 10. If this whole coaching thing doesn't work out for Crean I'm sure he could find work on Wall Street. That's the 1st place I'd look to be able to earn that much money being a total failure. I'll take Mike Davis any day over this overpaid and under performing "coach".

hmmm let me see here. It says in section four paragraph three, that he reserves the right to name my first born child if we win a national championship. Man they have everything covered in this contract.

BigA, if you had the time and inclination, it would be interesting to do a piece calculating how much the hiring of Kelvin Sampson has cost IU purely in dollars and cents. The costs imposed on our reputation are far greater in value, but the costs of Kelvin's buyout, Crean's buyout at Marquette, Ice Miller's services, and countless other expenses this has created would be an interesting study.
