Brad Underwood bounced to Illinois in a shocking move on Saturday just hours after his team’s first round loss to Michigan. He might have done it because of the money. Or he might have done it because he likes Illinois. Or maybe even because of a fractured relationship with Mike Holder.
Looking at the details of his new contract, I kind of lean towards the money. Here’s his contract details that were released on Monday.
- Six years, $18 million
- $2.75 million in year one
- $3.25 million in final year
Underwood is being announced on Monday afternoon as the Illinois head coach.
