Has anyone ever actually confirmed the exact amount of the buyout? I mean hell when it ranges from 3 or 4 million to 18 million anyone can throw numbers out and see what sticks. I'll believe it's 18 million when I see it in writing.

I thought it was $18 mil just for him and then with all the rest of the coaching staff it added up to $45 mil. but then i just read the article and it makes sense. crazy how a school has the ability to just dumb $45 mil like its nothing. I love endowments.

His contract is, was, and ever shall be the dumbest contract in sports history.

It rivals Barry Zito except at least Zito had a track record when his decision was made.
