According to Sporting News:

Oregon is planning to offer Michigan State coach Tom Izzo the largest contract in college basketball, according to Eugene, Ore., TV station KEZI.

A source within the Oregon athletic department has confirmed Izzo's name is on the list of coaching candidates provided by the search firm Spencer Stuart. But no offer has been made, nor have there been discussions between the parties, the TV station reports.

The proposed contract, backed by Oregon's biggest booster, Nike chairman Phil Knight, would surpass the game's largest current contract, given to Kentucky coach John Calipari (eight years, $31.65 million).



No way Izzo takes it, right? He's set for life at Michigan State I have to imagine.

No way he takes the job, He at sometime MIGHT look at the NBA again if the contract assures him, like he isn't already, set for life, doesn't even have to think about raising a finger again no matter what......If he is staying in college he is staying at MSU
