Title: This lawsuit will be interesting...........

Cutting a coach's buyout because he's not looking for a job could save some schools a load of money. Some schools including us.

Yep.  We should be very interested in how this makes its way through the courts. 

I'd love to see that asshat Butch Jones have to write UT a big check when all is said and done.

At least Ark has the guts to do it.....Botch is milking us and laughing all the way to the bank.

Yeah I'd love to cut him short. I wonder how long he has left...

Hm, it was $2M a year for 3 years, plus whatever he had left in 2017.  So one more year to go.  Thus we owe him about $3M.   We got off cheaper than Arkansas at least, total was about $6.82M.
