All's well that ends well. Just would have made no sense for Purdue to let Painter walk for lack of commitment (percieved or otherwise) to the program. Then to have to turn around and promise a new guy the things that Painter wanted and maybe pay more salary as well.
Nobody...but nobody...on the Purdue Sports List got anything done today... They spent more unproductive time (at work) on the internet today than Terry O'Keefe.
