A good friend of mine is a systems administrator for the Shaw Group. His boss, and good friend, is good friends with the VP, CIO of the Shaw Group. This guy, who has close ties to Jim Bernhard (Shaw CEO), stated that Bernhard, who is a major contributor to TAF, and other prominent boosters have agreed to and voted to buyout Nick Saban's contract with Alabama if Les Miles departs for Michigan. Of course, Saban would have to accept the offer, but apparently, the money is there and LSU is ready to roll if the opportunity truly arises.

Rumors are rampant right now, but my friend is pretty connected at Shaw, so I give this one some credence.

mbr, I have already handled Saban's buyout personally. That point is mute and he is free to negotiate terms with the Shaw people.

I'll pony up the $0 to buyout his contract. The only stipulation is he can't come back to LSU.
