At What Cost Izzo

I heard this morning that Michigan State is going to raise its tuition 5% next school year.
Normally I would have dismissed such an announcement, but I thought the timing was interesting.
Very interesting…
For those of you not near Lansing or Cleveland: Tom Izzo has been the coach of the MSU basketball team for a while, and he has attained success. He was considering jumping from college to NBA to take the job as coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, but he finally decided to stay at MSU.
His announcement was earlier this week.
See the connection?
Izzo stays at MSU -> MSU has to raise tuition
Don’t tell me you don’t believe conspiracy theories…
It seems a little too coincidental to me. Do we know what MSU offered Izzo to stay at MSU? Do they maybe need a little extra cash for a “retention bonus”?
No, we don’t know.
But it is fun to speculate.
My take on the whole choice is this: going pro is for college students, not for college coaches.
Izzo’s probably better off staying at MSU.
Disclaimer: Yes, I know that MSU’s budget, set a year ago, had already proposed this increase. Consider this post tongue-in-cheek.

5% is a deal.
