You are a fool if you think he will decide when he leaves. Eventually, Cal won't be able use the size of his buyout as leverage. If Cal told the university he is willing to leave without a buyout if that is what the school wants, he would be shown the door before he could complete the statement. Cal might be your crack, but most learned to just say no. LolThis will not be his last year. He will decide when he wants to leave whether you like it or not. I expect UK to be back on top tbis year.
