What does the blairfish say?

I don’t fucking get it. Reggie Bush, Carson Palmer, Troy palomalu, Marcus Allen, Ronnie Lott, Keyshawn Johnson, Clay Matthews...

How in the hell can this school not afford the 15 million dollar buyout?

This could get 9 figures

Likely have to foot this bill as well, albeit smaller

The buyout isn't an issue. The USC alumni $ pool is insane. Swann is just an idiot. I have an ex gf who is a USC alum who could cover the buyout by herself if she wanted

I'm sure she was batshit crazy -but you should have hung on to to that shit until you at least got some community property proceeds out of the deal.

Absolutely correct on the crazy part. Also absolutely correct on the second part, as well.

I understand your point and while I do agree money isn't an issue, it will be an issue when during a sex scandal in the medical department the President spends funds on a buyout of a football coach. This is their downside of hiring a "wholesome" coach when they need a new "wholesome" image. This will gibe the appearance to the #METOO movement that they only care about football.

They kept him because some UW fans threw on their capes on Twitter and hashtagged their way to victory.

SC is still in the middle of a big capital campaign. Hard to axe for mo' money and turn around and spend it on mo' problems ... especially football and sexual problems.

Sad for them they'll have to fork over 9 figures up front for the settlement then possibly a maximum of $250,000 to each individual case with the doctor in question

Surprisingly under-played point in this scenario.

You can't be expected to fire a coach who came 3rd in the pac 12 south
