I don't know if you will get Duke to host a Big Ten/ACC challenge game. Have they ever played one on the road?

Whoever spread this rumor hasn't been paying attention to Billy Donovan.

I'd say he's the next UK coach. Hook line and sinker.
He certainly isn't going out of his way to deny any interest...

I agree that Izzo is probably very unlikely I don't think MSU fans have anything to worry about at this point. I think he is content where he is at.

The top 6 names I have heard in the rumors:

1. Billy Donovan
2. Billy Gillespie
3. Mark Few
4. Tom Crean
5. Rick Barnes
6. John Calipari

Its the one job other than an NBA job that could probably pry Donovan out of Florida... I still don't know if it will happen I would put it around 30% which is up from the 5% I gave it when I first heard the rumor. His lack of denial upped the percentage for me...

Don't worry about Izzo. His name will be thrown around a bit but I don't think he is their main target.
