Not that you know what Forbes is.

Now go away meth mountain dumbass.



He's actually not wrong when you factor in what we take in and what we spend compared to other schools.

Auburn needs to chill out. I have never seen another team yo-yo back and forth between putrid to elite like they do. This is just one of the garbage years. They will probably make the playoffs next year.

There are 32 listed boosters in the oaks foundation(1 million donors) then there are anonymous oaks members.

The talon society(500k) has 2-3 times that

I'm sure Tuf's could come up with the money to buy him out but then they have to come up with the money for a new staff.

Ive not seen the whole contract and what has to be paid by the University vs TUF.

It’s not nothing. It would be more than twice as large as the biggest buyout ever up to this point (around $12 million).


Not even close to being correct.

Tim is worth over $750M and doesn’t have children. I think his nephew is his sole heir and the rest is going to charity.

That doesn't mean they all have an extra million or two laying around to cover up Leath's mistake. People with lots of money have it for a reason.

I don’t understand all this buyout talk. The inks barely dry on the damn contract, AU wantedn him and now they’re stuck with him.

What exactly is correct?Chizik's buyout

$11.08 million for him and his assistants.I believe some were reduced when they were hired by other schools.

That is true and I said the same thing in another thread.

Rane and Cook could cover it without missing it, but would they.

Well, you could always set him up with a contract violation, give him the exit without having to pay the huge sum.

What a bunch of fools for agreeing to that huge contract.

Also, the real number is more like $40 or $45 million when you consider the coaches...the new coach and his assistants, etc...
