California's UC system is a mess and the coaches have to take unpaid days off. The NCAA could care less. With zero realistic examples, the logic is pretty solid

2. First, you say there's no way they'd offer Anderson $3M, now you're going to make him the 2nd highest paid coach in the nation? C'mon now.

On one had you discredit the Oregon papers by their faulty journalistic reporting, but on the otherhand, you believe every rumor out there so long as it's favorable to Missouri. Just pick a side and stand by it.
As for the 4 million dollar comment, I don't think anyone still believes the 3 million dollar offer, considering they just asked permission to talk with Mike Anderson last night. However, if he agreed to actually talk to them on the...what is it...3rd attempt, one could only naturally assume the money offer was raised.

3. Who told you that there were only two that previously turned Oregon down? I think you're missing a couple.

Brad Stevens and Jaime Dixon.

4. Anderson has zero interest in Oregon. That's a fact. He had zero interest in going to Georgia last year, but he was smart enough to send his agent down there to get his salary doubled by pretending to be interested. Anderson's no fool. He'll play the Oregon card and try to land more money. That's how raises happen in college basketball.

Did Mike Anderson not feel comfortable asking for a raise after the first two times he spoke with Oregon but suddenly decided that he needed an extra 250K a year last night and agreed to speak with Oregon?
Anderson is apparently a fool for using a school clearly beneath him to try and pony up for a raise on the third time asking.
