Bo Davis may have left Alabama with an NCAA cloud hanging over his head, but he did so with a little financial parachute to soften the blow.

According to the Tuscaloosa News, Davis was paid nearly $317,000 by the university on Aug. 19. The payment came nearly four months after the offensive line coach submitted his letter of resignation in the midst of allegations that he had committed NCAA violations on the recruiting trail.

A UA spokesperson told the News that the payment was “to resolve disputed claims related to his separation from the university.” Based on language in Davis’ contract, the athletic department could’ve fired Davis with cause; why the August payment that pushed Davis’ salary to a level beyond what his contract called for is unknown.

Why is this different than what AU has historically done? This is apparently mimicking AU's sports dept. business model.

Better off paying him than getting a lawsuit filed against you.

Don't crawfish gump. Man-up and explain why a disgruntled coach left abruptly with $300k in hush money.

Auburn has paid buyouts that were required by contracts, what makes this different is that Bama paid MORE than they were contractual obligated to do... The Coach was fired for NCAA violations. Translation: HUSH MONEY>

To deny this, please show me where Auburn paid more than a contract called for? The one time we fired for cause we did not pay him a dime. Has Bama ever done this?

Bottom line: Bama pays hush money and has accused Auburn of this in the past (without proof).

The funny thing is how many of them were accusing AU of corruption with the Cam deal. When the NCAA came out and praised AU over the deal, the bammers went nuts. Now they all want to say it is just a normal practice. Biggest hypocrites in College Football.
