After watching the video about the Leo Lewis situation. It really now just occured to me how deep the money goes in college football.


Step 1. Purchase a player 10,000
Step 2. Have a fellow players dad give you 11,000. (Legal by NCAA as long as dad doesnt work for the school) i.e Leo Lewis
Step 3. Hire the Athletic director. 1,800,000
Step 4. Have the Athletic director hire his previous coach. 36,000,000 over 6 years.

It is truly amazing. Ole Miss was playing rock paper scissors, MSU was playing checkers, and Florida was playing chess.

I truly believe Dan Mullen was looking for a way out. When Scott turned his back on Miss. State, I knew Dan was sure to follow.

You'll soon find out that nobody except for those living in the magnolia state cares anything about either of your programs. They just want your recruits.

Taking a coordinator is one thing, they took the whole athletic department.

What Alabama did was even more brazen. They went at stole an NFL head coach in Nick Saban. Thats a huge deal. The NCAA is developmental league for the NFL. You dont hire their headcoaches, (Saban Alabama) they hire your headcoach. (O'brian Penn State)

No Arkansas stole a head coach from the NFL in Petrino. Alabama took a coach that was about to be fired from a NFL team

There's only 1team in the SEC, and maybe 3-4 teams in the country, where this is not the case.

Go look at UF's history. Just off the top I can think of multiple coordinators, a FBHC, a baseball HC, a tennis coach, maybe a track coach, and an AD that Florida has just lazily overpaid to get away from MSU. Congrats to them, I guess?
