Matt Painter is staying at his alma mater. Painter isn’t leaving Purdue for Mizzou. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch cited a source Wednesday saying that Painter had told Missouri AD Mike Alden he was “in.” He wasn’t. (The Post-Dispatch reporter has since apologized.)

In a statement to the press, Painter said: “At the end of the day, my heart is at Purdue, and this is a place where I want to win a national championship.”

So who’s next?
