The only thing I can figure is that they can't really afford to give him a raise. They gave him an 8 year extension to 1.3 million last April. If Mizzou is really offering upwards of 2.4 million, then I can't imagine that Purdue can really afford to go that high, if they can go up at all. I just didn't think they would have to go nearly equal in pay. He's from Indiana, was a captain at Purdue, got the opportunity to go big-time from them and has spent 7-8 years there. I assumed if he left it would be for a top-tier job.
