Let me take you to the intersection of hypocrisy and absurdity, where the house of cards has finally, officially crumbled.
Darian DeVries left as basketball coach at Drake after last season, taking the West Virginia job not long after leading Drake to the NCAA tournament. Late Tuesday afternoon, Indiana announced that it had hired away DeVries from West Virginia.
That’s three schools in less than one calendar year.
That’s Indiana paying DeVries’ buyout at WVU, and by proxy, the 2024 buyout WVU paid to Drake.
That’s DeVries trading up from a mid-major job, to a power-conference job, to a super conference blue blood.
