One should definitely note then the possibility of a misuse of funds investigation of the University of Oregonthat the Oregon State Legislature is currently considering. That's certainly not a stabilizing factor by any means in addition to the current state of the program.
Update was posted. Couple of amusing comments from the reported 'source'.

There’s no timetable for Kilkenny and Anderson to come to a resolution, but the source confirmed Oregon’s interest was reciprocated by the coach.

If 'interest' means that Anderson finally agreed to chat after saying no the previous two times he asked to talk, then I suppose he was 'interested'.

But the source suggested with Oregon’s new arena and support from Nike and Phil Knight, “it would be hard for any coach not to listen.”

It would appear that the previous several coaches that they courted didn't find it too hard to turn down Nike and Phil Knight. Anderson won't either.
