What's dumb is he was only asking for a "little" to upgrade facilities. The irony is look how much they wasted on just buying out Taggart. (Over $20M lmao)
Actually, FSU is paying a net of not one but 2 buyouts right now. They're paying 3 buyouts (to Oregon for hiring Taggart, to Taggart for firing him, and to Memphis for Norvell) and are getting paid 1 buyout. (TAMU paying them for Fisher.)
Firing a coach actually results in paying 2 buyouts (both to the fired coach and to the school you hired a coach away from), unless you hire a coach who got fired someplace else.
