And fans are going to be pissed even longer if rubbing it in the NCAA's face and extending a coach who has zero chance of Not getting a show cause gets them a 3 year bowl ban and 35 scholarships instead of a 2 year bowl ban and 25. They didn't have to extend him to show that they are behind him and calm the natives. Those idiots have been behind him this entire time without knowing he got extended. He still had 3 years left on his current deal. Announcing an extension is rubbing it in your executioner's face right before he chops your head off. Yea, it will get his fans excited for a few months. Then, he gets fired anyway and the punishment is worse, which makes the finances worse. It's idiotic and short sighted.
