Three years of salary? No, even P5 conference schools would think twice before doing that. But the closer we get to the end of Bubba's current deal, the cheaper it will get to buy him out. Which means he better sit down and think long and hard about whether it is worth it sticking with his assistants no matter what. Chaves didn't hire him (or anyone else at UND), so he is more likely to make changes down the line.
Does anyone know how much it cost to buy out Mussman? It couldn't have been cheap, but we came up with it.
Finally, why is UND flat broke all the time while NDSU is swimming in cash? That putrid situation needs to change or this will be just the start of a long period of mediocrity.
PS: I don't want to hear about how much corporate money is floating around Imperial Cass County; we have to focus on controlling what we can control.
