I'm not sure FSU can do it. They just made their last payment to Taggart in February of this year, and now the donors are expected to find another $64m under the couch cushions? FSU doesn't have Texas A&M kind of money.
At a minimum, if I were a big donor asked to fund this buyout, I think I'd insist on firing the AD before I wrote the check.
Karma for stealing so many of our players the last few years. 
Not even remotely close. They're not even close to UF money. And UF Isn't remotely close to A&M. A&M is stupid rich.

Interesting point. I said this years ago. In the end, only as handful of coaches really care. The best head coaches are true narcissists.
I should have majored in Losing Coaching or maybe Failing CEO and have people make fun of me while I laugh all the way to the bank. Very lucrative positions for failing to produce.
I read the other day where in addition to the 21-22 million it’s estimated to pay the athletes you are looking at about another 25-30 million to fund the increased scholarships the NCAA is allowing.
So your looking at 50 million more run your athletic program than before.Thats why SEC-B10 looking at scheduling model that might increase revenue.Even the biggest of the big feeling the pinch.
That’s what I read although the increased scholarship amount does look high.

At least CEO pay typically includes stock options that give them some skin in the game. I'd love to see a college coach with a compensation package that is heavily incentive based. Something like a base $3m salary + $500K bonus for every win in excess of 6 + $500K bonus for every win in excess of 8 + $500K bonus for every win in excess of 10. Add in an extra $500K each for conference and national titles. Win the national title with a 15-0 record and you'll make about $14.5m. You can live pretty well in College Station or Tallahassee on that.
I thought Duke had a pretty good team this season. Sad to see them struggling to bury FSU.
Hope FSPew goes 2-9 the next several years. Of course, hope one of those wins is against Clemsux.
They have their toughest game of the year this Saturday, on the heels of losing to Duke for the first time ever. Though Miami hasn't played a noteworthy team yet. An upset win here would stave of the wolves.
It would be interesting to see what happens if Miami blows them out.
I'd expect a underwhelming Miami win, like the Clemson game. I don't think there any great teams in the ACC.

Miami is winning close games against bad ACC teams. Them being ranked #6 shows how useless the polls really are.
Does Texas have Texas A&M type money?Not even remotely close. They're not even close to UF money. And UF Isn't remotely close to A&M. A&M is stupid rich.

He will be around another few years. The question then is who can they get? If Coach Prime wins 7-8 games a year there will be a group of boosters who will want him back and that may be as good as they can do.
