Supposably Pete had a interest in Udub a few years ago, when Belotti offered him the Oregon job, him told him that. The thinking is if Pete was ever going to go to a BCS school now was the time. The program might have become somewhat stagnant for him. I really don't think it was the money, because he turned that down before with /Stanford and USC. With Udub's new $220M Stadium, I guess the stars just lined up for him.
