strange.... He had an "out" in his Utah contract where if he chose ND, he wouldn't have to pay a buyout.  I guess UF is picking up that tab?

only $250K, probably not much to UF to get the coach they wanted.

It is an event like this that will further ND to look for conference affiliation.  The Gators will be loaded with talent and will be a quicker path to a NC and exposure for Meyer.  Yes, ND gives you exposure but not the right kind these days.  ND is further down the ladder than most think at this point and will soon look to a conference to bail them out.  The NBE is the most obvious solution because of existing tie-ins and as many have stated here is the easiest path to the BCS bowl games.

I am not suprised by this and I would have done the same thing if I was Meyer.  Florida is the better job.

Gators stepped up and paid the man $2 mil per. I think I heard that they offered $1 mil more than ND. I wonder if he remembers the beatdown he took in RayJay back in '02.  Awesome to see a #25 ranked team get their heads handed to them.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.

    With the climate going on in NCAA athletics, you’re either moving forward at a hard pace or you’re not. I think what intrigued me the most is they’re very determined to become a big player nationally.
