I dont think that ND can afford to get Urban away from FL. I think it would take 7-8 mil to get him away. I am still not sold on the idea that ND can afford big fat Charlies buyout.
Florida will match any offer notre dame comes up with. They'd have better luck trying to get brian kelly. I'm not sure kelly is sexy enough for notre dame anyway. Those people live in such a state of denial in south bend, they probably think they can get bellichick from new england.
ND is the richest school in college football... at least I should say that their football program is worth the most.
They could pay 10 mil a year if they wanted too but they don't care if they win or lose because General Electric will put their games on NBC for the next millenia reguardless of their record. Btw, they are non-conference and don't have to share any rev so they banking around 100 mil/year
That's if the are able to load all of Weiss's money in the truck before next season comes around.
If UT can pay 6mil then ND can pay 10mil. That's the high end of this ESPN story.
On top of that, ND knows that (someone) will scream racism if they don't fire him with a worse record than Willingham. Agree or not, it will make it easier for the domers to show him the door.
