Would be HILARIOUS if they lost a game they had to schedule as part of the buyout to get McEltoof!

"So to recap, Florida paid Colorado State $3 million in buyout money, an additional $2 million guaranteed for a game and then a further $7.5 million to buyout the coach responsible for the game in the first place. Not even getting into the earlier buyout of Will Muschamp (that led to McElwain’s hire) and the cost of bringing in Mullen and company to Gainesville, UF has ponied up a whopping $12.5 million to make this game against Colorado State happen."



Price tag for Florida hosting Colorado State is far larger than $2 million game check

It would be hilarious if Colorado State somehow won this game.

After losing to a basketball school, I'd think humility would eventually set in. Glad that their strong unwavering delusion knows no bounds.

They will bring up things that happened before you and they were born. I had one person bring up the flop game before to try and assert dominance.
 
Colorado State beat Arkansas last weekend 34 - 27.

So.... I wouldn't chalk up a L for them just yet.

Signed,

As noted by The Tampa Bay Times this week, this is no ordinary contest however — it’s a prohibitively expensive one for the Gators.

You can start with the fact that McElwain once commanded an incredible $7.5 million buyout at Colorado State. That huge number was negotiated down by then-UF AD Jeremy Foley and wound up becoming a $3 million payment over six years for the Gators and a further $2 million payment by McElwain. The Rams weren’t about to give up $2.5 million for free though and agreed to travel to Gainesville for a game — the one on Saturday — that would have a guaranteed $2 million check.

McElwain was fired just two and a half years into his tenure with the Gators however and was paid a similarly hefty buyout of $7.5 million by the school not to run the football program any more. That led to the hire of Dan Mullen in the offseason after a long search but the game remained on the schedule for 2018.
