With the Keno Davis situation, was wondering what BU has done to keep Les. Not asking for any classified info, but do we have any idea the salary range at BU right now? It's going to have to be pretty high to Keep JL in the long run.

Does anybody know the answer to the question? I would think that we alums have an interest in knowing this. As the Drake situation illustrates, it's ultimately about finances, and that boils down not only to ticket sales but to alumni support. And without some sense of how well compensated our coach is (or should be), it's a little hard to guage what BU's needs are.
Jim Les will eventually be sought after, and I don't see the wisdom in waiting until that happens to show the guy some loyalty.

Nobody knows, and it will not likely be made public. It might be in that range or a little higher, but it is not as much as Lowery, Marshall, or Altman make.
I suspect he is paid fairly well by comparison to other midmajor schools nationally, but Bradley will not be able to match what a BCS or other major school will offer if they want him.

My first reaction to seeing that Davis accepted the Providence offer:
"Providence? Really? You couldn't have done better than that by staying at Drake a little longer?"
Compared to other Valley coaches moving on:
Weber to UIUC
Turgeon to Texas A&M
Altman to Arkansas (for a couple days)
And Davis takes the Providence job....I'm scratching my head....

And also the possibility that Drake will not finish in the top 4-5 in the valley and Keno will lose his opportunity to get a big payday from another school.Thinking is the hardest work, that is why so few people do it. -Henry Ford
Yeah...I've been in college for a while now and I'm pretty sure that awesomest is not a word. -Andrew E.
