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

This Jack Graham is the dipshit causing a stir about all this. CSU is going to have to deal with court lawsuit before long and they will have to pay attorney fees in the end.
I say frick it....McElwain should just come to Florida and let his attorneys sue the crap out of CSU. It wont happen of course, because CSU knows they are going to be the bad guys and good luck finding a good coach. You cant make a person stay at a job he doesn't want. They were only paying McElwain 1.5 mil a year...WTF they expect? They must need $$ really bad at CSUs athletic dept.
The coach has his "dream job" offer and they need to honor the agreement and make it possible for McElwain to advance his career.
