No question. Part of the rumors this whole time were that the boosters had given Foley a "blank check" to do what needed to be done. I think many of them were willing to dig deeper into their pockets than usual. After the last four years I'm not surprised, are you?G8RNGA;n108219 said:I think many of us are hoping your sources are accurate - only time will tell. If money is no object, then I can see this. With Stoops just receiving an extension, you have to believe that the buyout clause is similar to Sumlin's and in the $5M range. That on top of the $7-$9M buyout of Muschamp and staff as well as putting at least $5.5M-$6M on the table for Stoops would put the UAA somewhere in the neighborhood of a $20M hit. I'm not saying it wouldn't happen, but it will certainly speak volumes about how much they wanted Stoops and want to turn things around.
