This fan is fairly in the know and says that a big time booster was willing to pony up an extra $20 million to Kiffin to keep him. This on top of a crazy contract money wise they were already willing to offer as well. Just shows how BAD he wanted to coach here.(And how desperate OM was to keep him) The Reb fan says now all of that is going to NIL hence their decent portal class. If true, LK I salute you

Your friend should thank Lane for giving them the blueprint on how to use the transfer portal/nil to build a solid program

I mean, Kiffin said all along it wasn't about the money.

Maybe. Maybe not. But it sounds made up.

Don't kid yourself, it is always about the money.

I just don’t believe someone threw $20mn in the pot like it was nothing. I am connected (in the broadest sense of the word) with the money LSU collects and have never seen a drop like that. Not even close. Again, maybe it’s all legit but I highly doubt it.

Internet is a low form of communication, but hearsay gossip of a conversation someone had, is the lowest form of internet. This thread sucks.

And taxes would cut that by almost 50%.

IF this is true, get ready for it to happen again one day.

Then why did they? Were you in some way coercing or threatening them. You didn’t even claim it was a friend, you simply said it was a ‘fan’. Why would a fan of one team admit something to a random guy that they didn’t want to admit?

Sounds like he gave it up pretty easy. What’d you do, sit him down in an interrogation room?

IMO, it’s a comparison move

LSU - Gorilla Penis
OM - Micro Penis

What’s your point? It’s not meaningful that he passed up $10M in cash?
