Yes Glass told Quinn he would hire Mike if they agreed to let Crean go. Then went behind his back to Archie and never even interviewed Mike

I wish Scott would have done the same thing. Honestly I respect Glass a little more now.

I don't know, it's possibly the smartest thing he did with IUBB and it still came back to bite us.

That is a head scratcher, not sure why Michigan would agree to that low buyout?

Two options:

1. Dusty demanded/negotiated it.
2. Michigan wanted an "out" in case Dusty was a bust.

take your pick.

What do you make of Osterman saying 5% chance Brad is the next coach?

I think that is a high % coming from Osterman. Appreciate him taking time out of his busy schedule watching soccer to let us know his thoughts.

For all of Glass' faults... he was genius with that move... but Buckner ended up screwing over the basketball program any way...power corrupts. Absolutely power corrupts absolutely.

Bozich says 0% chance. Our insiders say numbers have been discussed. Somebody will be dead wrong.

So our insiders have said numbers have been discussed with Stevens recently? When was this mentioned?

It's not #2 since his buyout for getting fired is 70% of his remaining contract which comes out to something like $10.5-11M.

There are 2 different buyouts.

Your #2 would refer to a different buyout clause

It was 13 days from the time Archie was bought out and Mike was introduced I believe 

The first rumor of Mike Woodson being considered was a dark day in american history.

I think it is definitely #1….and why would Dusty demand such a low buyout? Maybe he was up front with them and said if IU opens up and they offer I will likely take it. Or maybe we are over-estimating his interest, maybe he has his eye on another opening?

Indeed. Schools want the buyout for a coach leaving to be as high as possible while coaches want just the opposite. It's obvious that May/his agent worked to get it low.

It was last week. I've heard 10 years 92 million and also 8 years 85 million.

Either is fine with me since it's not my money. Also heard we can go more if we have too

Planned deflection to try to quell the speculation with a gentle nudge from Dolson to Osterman.

10 years 100 mill, his choice of buildings to be named after him, and we replace the chairs and sanitize AH to make sure Woodson doesn't rub off on anyone in his staff.

Michigan would have never hired him if he told them he was going to leave after one year if another conference team's job came open in my opinion. The low buy out is on Michigan's end.

Pure speculation but maybe Dusty just placed a huge bet on what he could do.  Not push for a large buyout in the initial contract.  Have a really good year and now can sit at the table and say OK boys, what are you going to do for me today.  He has leverage especially with our opening.
