I think ex-CRP is going to get something but nowhere near $45M. If it should turn out that way it is a horrible reflection on the former interim president (no longer with the school) and the now no longer head of the BoT. IMO, a much better strategy would have been to have let him coach that last year with a buyout negotiation going on. There were things that would dramatically "weaken" ex-CRP's position.
Your second paragraph must be an attempt at sarcastic humor as there is no truth to it.
Peace
Since they had already let him stay on as coach through several well publicized scandals BECAUSE HE WAS WINNING then yeah, maybe they should have kept him for another year But then hard to say what kind of trouble he could have got in with another year too.
Most of the things that went on at Transfer U were a terrible reflection on jurich, IMO, but then the "just win" crowd loved him. And apparently that included most of the fan base. Hiring hurtt and having to stand behind him was MAYBE his biggest sin, but then there were too many to count. I think he gets a lot of the credit for bringing the #1 football recruit in the nation in, now wasting the taxpayer's dollar serving a life time sentence as a habitual criminal. I still wonder if jurich is keeping his word and keeping him supplied with lobster tails.
And no, my second paragraph was a serious question, I did read that in the paper but can't remember the source and did find it a bit unbelievable-------but then jurich and Slick Rick were both involved so nothing could be completely unbelievable with jurich there.
What did you think of the $22,500,000 contract BP got when no one else was trying to hire him, or the $500,000 bonus for the TOP TEN IN THE NATION APR (normal bonus $50,000 for minimum APR) compiled by a bunch of players with a lot of them kicked out of legit Universities AND many others that had to go the JC route because they couldn't qualify out of high school? Didn't he tarnish your degree a little bit? I know the "Speed" engineering program was highly regarded back in your day, but I think I read something derogatory about it the other day, I wish I could remember what happened yesterday.
As I said, NOTHING was unbelievable there when jurich was running the show. and he got his son and THREE of BP's relatives on the payroll. Nepotism at its finest. I wonder if BP's two son in laws are getting divorces now, probably got nice buyouts though, and it will be telling where his son gets a job as a QB coach now. It might be in his genes.
Picked on you enough for now, sometimes I wonder if SOME of the fans deserve what they got. Ended up in a power conference with a network starting soon, so I would say yes, look at what the SEC $40,000,000 a year plus has done for mitch now.
