I'm not sure what Tubberville and his assistants got entirely, and I think they are done paying but it was millions. That can't be too far in the rear view mirror, and couple that with Gene and his assistant's buyout, and you have a big chunk of change. Sure, it might end up being "only" 250K a month that they are out, but this has to be weighed against the hit they took firing the last coach, the legal costs of escaping the NCAA, and what ever it will cost to convince the next coach to put his career on the line.Well, its not like they have to write a big check all at once. chizik get $7,5000,000, but that is payable over three years, which would be around $200,000 a month. And if he gets another job, the salary he gets from that would be deducted from his buyout, I imagine the others have the same deal.
They do not have unlimited funds...
