This is setting up for a big letdown.


I'm preparing my anus for a disappointment.

Per ESPN
During a June 6 meeting with McElwain's representatives, Frank agreed to reduce or eliminate the buyout if McElwain were offered a "once in a lifetime"-type job, a source told ESPN. There were five individuals in the room when the agreement was struck, including former athletic director Jack Graham, who drew up the 10-year, $15 million contract for McElwain.

Graham confirmed to The Coloradoan on Tuesday that during McElwain's contract negotiations, Frank agreed to "reduce if not eliminate the breakup fee" should McElwain have a chance to leave for a "dream job." Graham told the newspaper he disagreed with the decision since it eliminated the purpose of the buyout.


Need to get this stuff in writing . Michigan and Nebraska both looking at McElwain as a replacement. Could get nasty
