Strong is too expensive for our G5 lifestyle

Some interesting tidbits in this article...apparently Martin came to rep Texas and make sure USF isn't low balling. Haven't read Texas contract but I wonder how much influence they can impose on the contract negotiations so that Texas doesnt lose money?

Texas signed a bad deal and they want to make us pay for it. They can't litigate their way out of this because there's a signed agreement. 

My guess is that USF and UT are currently working out a compromise. It's obviously in both schools' interest because they don't want us to low ball Strong and subsidize our hire.

Tom Korun with the scoop!  Let's all overreact and read way too much into this now!!

Good for Tom. More fodder for the TBP fire!

Obviously it means it a done deal and he will be back to Terminate the competition as USF's head coach

I guess this is the snag and if it hasn't happened there must be some legs that Texas has to hold up the process.

Would be some sweet justice to make Texas pay after trying to get into the Big 12 and Texas knowing all along they weren't going to allow it. Reality is though we won't want to make Texas mad due to the possibility of getting into the conference in the future.

My thought is that Strong wants to make a deal and is pressured to hold out by Martin from Texas. He is going back to Texas to drop off the booster, pay his own way, meet with Harlan man to man and do what the **** he wants.  

He doesn't need a UT thug with him as he signs.

You guts should pick up this thread around page 30 or so. Actual Texas contract is discussed with legal opinions from TBP attorneys.

Anyone have the skinny on the Texas contract? what could or would be the potential hold up from the Texas perspective?

Good article just published on the current state of things:

Says Oregon DC rumors were nothing more than rumors, and that Gary H. Martin (the Texas booster who owned the plane Charlie flew in on) was also here, to make sure Texas wasn't getting screwed over in the contract talks. So looks like Texas is trying to have a say here.
