I think the only reason Illinois is offering that much is that perhaps they think it's an offer he can't refuse. And if I'm Bennett, I don't see the allure of leaving UVA for Illinois. You already have the personnel to run your system at UVA, so why leave for a rebuild? It's not like coaching in the B1G is an upgrade over the ACC, and he hasn't shown any reason to believe "going home" means anything to him.

I also don't think that the Indiana faithful will be all that thrilled about the stylistic fit, either. I just feel that the pack-line defense and Tony's grind-it-out offense isn't going to be a good match for the Hoosiers.

I agree. TB should use this to get a good pay raise out of Virginia & stay put. I would consider Virginia a better job than both Illinois & IU at this time.
