    These buyouts are absurd. Kudos to athletic departments for getting these coaches to sign them. But it seems ridiculous the level of leverage the coaches are signing away. But I'm not party to the conversations they're having. I haven't noticed football having buyouts this large. Is it happening in professional sports? Or is men's basketball the unicorn it seems to me?

    Don't they work both ways, or do these contracts typically have different amounts for coach leaving for a new gig vs school firing for coach sucking.

    Lobbing 80 cruise missiles every few weeks at random targets has to count a little bit as functionally out of them doesn’t it? It’s not like Russia has some sustained air campaign at this point

    In totally unrelated news, Iran continues to deliver 80 missiles to Russia every few weeks.

    That goes to show how important it is for QBs to be in the right situation, even great QBs.  Mahomes landed in an ideal place in the NFL.  His head coach is an offensive genius plus Reid is the only head coach he has had in the NFL, he has always had elite playmakers catching his passes, he doesn't have to constantly run for his life behind a patchwork OL, Kansas City's owners aren't cheapskates or attention whores or greaseballs, he was allowed to ease into the starting job because he wasn't expected to bail out a franchise that had been poorly run since he was in elementary school on day 1 of his rookie year.  If some dumpster team like the Jets or the Browns, who both passed on him, drafted Mahomes they might have permanently fucked him up.  I can envision some dinosaur coach who gets hard watching highlight reels from the 80s trying to coach the creativity and unconventional passes out of Mahomes if he ended up on a bad team.  I really hope a franchise that isn't a fucking joke ends up with the #1 pick in 2024 so Caleb Williams is put in a good position to succeed.

    Now do Vince Young

    Sorry if this has already been posted...I didn't see it, but that doesn't mean it wasn't.

    You know it's bad when they have to issue this statement.  That's akin to an AD releasing a statement that they fully support a coach.  

     

    That's a kiss of death if I've ever seen one.

    It’s because we need to split up the 50 million into two years to avoid getting no money this year. Some of it will be withheld from the Big 12 payment for 2013 and the rest from the SEC payment in 2014. 40 million or that will go to the 8 leftovers and 10 million to fox. We should make up the lost money by 2016 or 2017 from the increased payment in the SEC.
