WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue defensive coordinator Brock Spack will be introduced as the head coach at Illinois State on Wednesday.

Tonight, Spack issued the following statement:

"The opportunity to become the head coach at Illinois State was too good for me to let pass by, even though I love Purdue. Illinois State is a great school, with a lot of resources, and they are committed to winning. I want to thank the Purdue fans, the coaches I worked with, everyone in the athletics department and, most importantly, the players. Last year, when Danny Hope was hired, Morgan Burke was very gracious in giving me a three-year contract, and now he is supportive of my decision to become a head coach. I wish Danny nothing but the best, and I value our friendship. Purdue will have a very good defense in 2009, and people should be excited. Purdue is my alma mater, and I will always be a Boilermaker."
