Major news in college sports as it appears Billy Donovan will be filling the head coach position with the Orlando Magic. You'd think his mentor Rick Pitino would have steered him clear from such a dangerous leap considering his mountain of misfortune with the Boston Celtics.

I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    It's being reported that he has been offered a GURANTEED contract for 4 years at 6 million per year. I'd say that's 24 million reasons for him to at least consider it. Remember, his team is going to be very young and is in the process of rebuilding (if that's possible for back to back champions).

    Plus he'll be given more control over team operations than your average coach. But then again... so was Pitino.
    It's a dangerous move. But if he succeeds, he'll go from "great" to "legend."
