Congratulations

I completely underestimated UL's ability to cut a really really big check and thought for sure you would bank on Brohm’s hometown draw. But looks like you left nothing to chance and threw $35 million at the man.

Good luck. Beat UK.

Good luck to you guys as well, sorry for taking your coach. Hope you can get someone like Leonhard!

Congrats Card folks. He’s a good coach and a better person.

Best of luck to you guys going forward. You got who I think you all wanted.

It doesn’t sound like it was that big of a check ($35M over 6 years). Really thought it would have taken at least $6.5/year. Any word on whether Purdue made a counter offer or even made a big effort to keep him?

Thought all along JB wouldn't let it get into a bidding war...if this is where he wanted to be,which apparently it was. 🙂

I doubt it. Bet when they heard that number, they realized (if the hadn’t already) that it wasn’t about money. This number is certainly consistent with what I was told Brohm said he’d take to come here.

L’s UP!!!
