Message: [QUOTE="southie, post: 3504141, member: 2527"] I have no idea if, nor did I ever state that Graves would leave Oregon for Texas. What I stated was that if his salary increase last year after his first Final Four season was a mere $50,000 ($650,000 to $700,000) annually, then he is financially attainable by Texas as I believe they will offer the right candidate around $1.25 million. Oregon could match that, I suppose. And, even if they don't, a substantial pay increase might not be a motivating factor for Graves to start over at a new school. If this year's post-season tournament had played out, and Graves had led Oregon to a national title, the chances of him leaving Oregon would have been zilch. But, that didn't happen. The door is open, IMO, at least from a financial aspect. [/QUOTE]
