johnnydoom It is big business for some schools, especially SEC schools. They all must bring in a lot just for TV.

azgreg Not too bad

Ex college coach is the best job in America.
azgreg USA Today is reporting $26M buyout and may have mitigations

Just read that also. Not sure where I got $39M from though. Anyways, $26M isn't a bad days work either.

The boosters are paying the $26M. Norvell's buyout at FSU is $65M. Yikes!
Yipsy My theory is that they saw other scores and noted that Mississippi State was getting embarrassed at home by Toledo. They thought maybe you just can't be too careful with these smaller schools.
Not really sure why Tennessee would do such a thing unless someone from Kent State was mouthing off some really stupid stuff. It is nasty as described and not warranted even if it's still only the 1st quarter.
Mixed reaction to yesterday. Memphis played fairly well and got the win against dysfunctional FSU. My adopted school (current and future school of my kids) and my state's university, Mississippi State was thoroughly trashed by a Toledo team that has been very good in recent years but shouldn't be able to come into SEC territory and win. I fear that Mississippi State has traded places with Vanderbilt.
Bravopilot Yes, and Nick Saban called for Miss State to lose to Toledo today.
He also exuberantly chose WVU over Pitt. LOL
fatshot Pitt recruited and signed the QB from the local high school where I taught. He's a senior this year....threw for 325 yards and ran for 185 last night.
Well, he may have to wait for quite some time with Holstein firmly entrenched as the starter, with years of eligibility left. I guess the letter of intent by the QB you mentioned won't mean much. He won't even need to enter "The Portal"... LOL

Oh, I can definitely see him entering the Portal! He's been a starter since his sophomore year, and probably won't like sitting, so he'll be looking around for a better deal.....not sure why he signed at Pitt in the first place if they have an established starter who has lots of eligibility left.

More than likely, Holstein hadn't transferred when he signed his letter of intent.
