Vegas has no idea what Drew is going to do and they don't care. The odds are designed to get more people betting.

I hope Drew's contract includes a 7 figure buy out. If not, add it stat!

Just pointing out the only Odd's we're seeing so far are from a Kentucky betting website, not Vegas. That distinction is extremely important lol.

Oh yes, I stand corrected. I was tired. I missed the word "none."

So yes apparently I am the only one with concerns about him leaving.

It's not your fault I was just using the force.

CSD is going to get offers. There may be some future offers we lose sleep over. Louisville just isn't one of those imo. Could be wrong of course.

This isn't a Kim mulkey situation Scott Drew doesn't have an ego. He's also building his Dreamhouse right now in town. Just got a new arena has yet to get his facility open. Bring in the best class ever to baylor also, there's not a lot of places in America where he can use joy to teach kids no, y'all should be looking into it. We're gonna lose some assistance sooner than later. I think Jakees will probably be gone this summer.

Why would he be gone in the summer. Wouldn't the immediate off season be when he would leave if he does this off season?

Speaking of faith. Louisville has one of if not the leading Baptist Seminaries in the country (link provided). It's also a huge Catholic community. I think that's great about Scott Drew being a faithful man. He may stay in Waco but Louisville has a lot of plusses. The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (sbts.edu)

---

Saying Southern Seminary is one of the best is like saying Aggies aren't brainwashed. It is an opinion that is not based on fact.

I didn't find anything really opinionated about his post. Southern Seminary is widely known as one of the top seminaries in the United States.

Now with that being said, I would think that "reputation of seminary" would be further down on CSD's list than say, more $$.

Except Drew isn't particularly greedy. $$ isn't his primary motivation. I don't know if the presence of a top notch seminary on campus would matter much either, unless he or his family planned to take classes there. Baylor also has a seminary on campus although not with the same reputation.

You do realize something…..if Drew ever goes to another university while on Mack's watch,Mac will have lost 2 hall of fame basketball coaches. I doubt he lets that happen.

---

I think you're underestimating Mack

Don't be surprised if Mack isn't offered the Nebraska AD job now that it has opened up. A certain football coach at Nebraska really liked Mack.

Mack to Nebraska and Drew to Louisville has only about a 2% chance of happening, but would be just a horrific one two gut punch.

Have we devolved to Seminary trash talk in a basketball thread? Goodness, you people are insufferable.

I agree it's odd, but it's something the UL troll brought up. People are just responding to him.

Drew isn't going to stay or leave because of a seminary. Money always will be the top priority. If Baylor was only paying him $1 million per year to coach, he wouldn't care about having the ability to pray before and after basketball games with his team. And at the same time, if Drew was perennially missing the tournament, Baylor fans wouldn't keep him around because he has faith. It's a mutually beneficial relationship currently, but at the end of the day it is just business for both sides. $8, $10, $12 million per year can fund a lot of mission trips if faith is really that important to you. I have no idea what numbers are being discussed, but I would think the offer would have to be at the top of the market to get Drew to even consider leaving Baylor (current highest paid coach is John Calipari at $8.5 million per year).

The biggest issue I see for him is longevity. UL might pay him pretty well for a few years, but their expectations are sky high. The Baylor build was not an overnight success and it may take 2-3 years to get UL back on track, even with someone like Drew as the head coach. Does UL have that much patience? Is 2-3 years of $8 million per year better than a guaranteed 10+ years of $5-6 million per year and being the face of Baylor for life? I suppose if he negotiates a guarantee of 5 years at $8-10 million per year with UL, that would be hard for him to turn down. The biggest issue he would have to worry about then is getting Brenda Tracy'd if he isn't winning after 2-3 years, which I could easily see UL trying to find cause if they aren't happy with the results on the basketball court.

Athlete housing didn't get a lot of traction so obviously seminaries were next in line.

---

I think I'm even more confused how a seminary in the same town unrelated to the University of Louisville has any impact on how the coach or the secular public university would feel about using Christian faith as a cornerstone of a basketball program not at the seminary.



Austin Theological Seminary is less than 2 blocks north of UT campus. I've even parked in their lot for a BU-UT game at DKR. How has that worked out for them?

There is not a single coach at this level that does not have an ego.

Nah, pretty sure it was just a downtrodden Louisville fan really stretching hard to try to show how religious the community is. While showing at the same time he really didn't understand what everyone was saying about faith being at the forefront for CSD.

How is the bass fishing around Louisville? That will have more of an impact that a seminary not related to the school

It is reported on our sports talk shows in Louisville that Coach Drew has a ZERO dollar buyout option on his contract. If true that is phenomenal and makes it understandable why Louisville would go hard after him.

Don't believe everything the media reports, even the sports media. They might be repeating a rumor or hot bad info somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if they made zero effort to verify.

IMHO the only way there is not a buyout is if Drew made it clear he would honor his contract.

If there are 2 years remaining, we have him for a minimum of 2 years, 5 years equals 5 years.

If Drew is anything, it is a man of integrity.

I'm not a troll. I identified myself up front who I was. Nothing inflammatory. Unlike someone else that posted here I'm being respectful and not speaking negatively about Baylor. I'm on your board. Not Louisville's. Peace

Thanks for being so polite. Now, just one word, GET OUT.

Both can be true.

UofL fan here. I just wanted to chime in with my opinion on Drew.

Personally, I don't see Drew leaving Baylor for any school. Would I love if he actually ended up at UofL, of course. But it's tough to see someone that has been at a school for 20+ years, built a program from the ground up & has had a ton of success just pack up and leave.

Saying that....UofL will make an offer that not many coaches would turn down. I just heard that they're willing to make him the 3rd highest paid coach in college basketball behind Bill Self & Calipari. Will this be enough to sway Drew? I don't think so, but we'll see.

Thought CSD already was right in the ballpark of 3rd. I think Self is now the highest paid coach also, I read that he effectively got an amazing bump and an annually renewing contract.

Will be interesting to hear what Louisville plans to offer CSD. Desperate times, desperate measures. So they could be throwing all kinds of crazy money at CSD. I think we keep Drew, but at least the Louisville fans are keeping it interesting.
