I was fairly certain we got Bz's buyout. It wasn't anywhere close to $7.5MM, though. I think it was $500,000. I could swear Wake Forest paid that.
Didn't realize that. Thanks
:lol:
well obviously a verbal contract dispute would only come up in court, so it is likely to not be a player in the negotiations. It is just interesting to me in how it could have an impact on the leverage in the negotiations.
uhhh. I'm saying it's more complicated than saying "it's a verbal contract, which is enforceable." Much more complicated. Nonetheless, yes, it could have an impact on the negotiations. There are a LOT of variables to just how much of one. Stupid things like this are how people end up in court though.

Did we receive all of it though? I seem to remember it was a small fraction of what was "owed" to us.

I think that is probably what they will see. Maybe even a 2 for 1 but the SEC doesn't really like to travel. I also think it will cover some basketball games and some other sports to get the number to where it needs to be.

Any CSU commits we can get?

Considering they have 6 or so? I think we want Umu.
Umu is not a CSU commit.
Profile says he's a verbal to them: http://www.allbuffs.com/showthread.php/98502-15-CO-DT-Frank-Umu-(Verbal-to-CSU)
I don't know where to look in order to find out, but my recollection is that we got the whole thing.
In all honesty, I'd rather take the cash if I was CSU. What good does a game in the swamp do them? Why commit to a game like that? Plus, there are a lot of expenses involved in traveling to Gainesville with 60 players, coaches, and equipment. There isn't much upside to that deal, IMO.
same reason we play them at SAF. Exposure, Recruiting, Ticket Sales. They still get their equivalent money, UF just doesn't have to pay them out of pocket.
Umu de-comitted from them last week. Maybe he sensed something was up ??

Deshon Mayes (JuCo) is thier only three star commit
do we need a LB ?
So CSU must follow in the footsteps of Central Michigan and University of Cincinnati producing Brian Kelly and Butch Jones. The is CSU more like CM of UC, are they the feeder school (UC) or the feeder school to the feeder school (CM). Best case is to be the middle like UC, meaning the gamble to hire a less coveted coach paid off.
Is the sky blue?
I seem to remember that we got in the neighborhood of $500K
Troof. It took three, maybe four years for Tad to earn as much as Bzdelik did. We made out like bandits on that deal. Dumped a huge contract, got paid handsomely for it, and hired a coach who was 100X the guy we just lost.
Thanks Bohn.
(Just had to add that in there).
Even assuming a sell-out of Hughes (which would be far from a guarantee based on past history) CSU would make a lot more money traveling to Florida for a road game. Yes there are travel cost, but those happen for one team either way, those are part of the game contract.
Beyond that a game at Florida will usually draw close to 90,000 fans, with an average ticket price well above the average price at Hughes.
Florida can afford to pay CSU well above what CSU would make from a home game and still make more money that they could make playing at CSU.
For a program with limited revenue sources every extra $100,000 makes a difference and going to UF would be multiples of those $100,000.
SIAP, but just looking at CSU results over the last couple of years. Sparkles best win in his tenure there is over 9-4 Utah State this year (or maybe BC, who ended up 7-5). That was a 16-13 squeaker at home against a team that was on their 3rd QB. I would hate this hire if I were Florida. They are a top 5 job, and this is what they got...

It seems to me that they are in too big a hurry to properly evaluate his CV. He may turn out to be a good fit for UF, but it is certainly a gamble.

No way Florida is a "top 5" job.
If that was the case, Ron Zook, Will Muschamp, Urban Meyer and McElwain would never have been candidates.
It is a very nice football program - but in the SEC alone there are probably 5 jobs that are better.

I don't know, if Florida hired him after being the OC at Alabama where he had won two national titles it would look like a decent hire, but on top of that he won 10 games at f**king CSU amid a turnover at AD. Seems like a damn good hire to me.
