Plus a video statement he wants to stick around. 

Take that Penn State.  :)

Sure that sounds good and all, but what’s the buyou…… I just can’t.
Congrats to Cig. Incredibly well earned and we don’t have to listen to the noise anymore. Now go win a Natty, Dude.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Goodness gracious.  Good for him.  Indiana football having a top 3 paid coach just shocks me to my core.  
 

And on that note can we find a sugar daddy for the basketball team so we can start flexing on folks.

GREAT NEWS!!!

Now we only have to worry about the assistants…:)

Is the buyout even a thing any more? I mean, Penn State paid Franklin $49M to go away. That is insane. Almost as insane as paying Tom Allen $15M+ to go away. I'm honestly not sure any number really matters any more.

Does this set the B-town Banners record for longest title of a thread? LOL! 

Seriously -- great for Cigs and for IU!

Penn State fans can look elsewhere

So glad we paid Tom Allen to go away

One difference between Allen and Franklin is that Allen’s parting deal was a one time payout that did not include a “claw back” if he gets another job.

Franklin is being paid over time and PSU owes him 49m less what he makes at another school. If Franklin signs a 5 year 25m deal, as an example, PSU will be off the hook for 25 million.  Would be kind of funny if Franklin took 100k a year just to F with PSU.

[LamarCheeks]

Uh-oh. We'd better think twice about this. 

Finebaum is not on board!

Great news

What is funny that a half hour before this news broke  some dufus national writer said he just can't see Cignetti staying at IU

I'm sure that's not allowed per his contract.
