[NU Sports] Shaka Smart Reported to Have Turned Down Illini JobOffer

[Stephen Truog]

So ... of a school like Illinois (power conference, tradition, recruiting, etc) can't entice him, how exactly are we gonna get a big name to take over for camody???

Unlike the B(C)S, mid majors get a shot in hoops, so the big boys aren't always so enticing ...
