As of October 2016 (from Business Insider) UCLA ranked #25 in terms of sports revenue at $97m (football revenue $37m) and UF ranked #6 with $147 (and $73mm respectively). It's not even a fair fight dollar-wise. UF wins licensing rights/fees battle $55m to UCLA's $42.5m.
You are going with the simple, straight forward interpretation? We don't do that on this board.
It still makes no sense. The UCLA opening is NOT a surprise - it's been a likely scenario all season. So if Chip wanted UCLA, why wouldn't he just wait until the job came open?
If he is signed as of a day certain, you can announce it when you please. Fire a coach by the day certain.
Exactly. The narrative that we went up there, contract in hand, and Chip changed his mind on signing because during the flight the UCLA job came open is incredibly stupid.
Telling me (what I and everyone else already knows) about how odds/payouts work doesn't even begin to address my post. I'm aware of how payouts work. I'm not talking about payouts. You should have just stopped with your first sentence, then nodded in agreement.
Now this post makes way too much sense. Clearly since we didn't have an announcement its a big FU by Chip to Florida, that's how irrational minds work.
He was talking to UCLA through back channels. Their UAA couldn't get involved because it would leak and that would look real bad while Mora was employed. They couldn't draw up contracts etc. so it was just a mutual interest stage. Once Mora was let go then all bets are off and they can put on the full press. Kelly most certainly has an interest in UF but now UCLA can operate in the open.
Chip wanted a good job preferring UCLA. UCLA wouldn't fire Mora until they were on the verge of losing Kelly. They go after Kelly who says no to a good job to take the preferred job.
Maybe her and Fuchs were antiquing?
We can honestly say we left no stone unturned in the search for answers. I feel good about it.
There's a game this weekend? Who are we playing?
Oye Vey...
