Dude. This isn't truth or dare with 14 year olds. That's a sure fire recipe to find yourself without a decent replacement and the laughingstock of the college football world.

Thanks for the negotiation advice. Again, if I were Alleva and if there were a "real offer", I'd start exploring replacements while refusing to be held hostage by a sham offer from Arkansas that Miles probably never intends to accept. Alleva can't just immediately submit and pay Miles 5.25 MM a year because Arkansas has bid up the price.

The key question: Do you really believe Miles is going to go to Arkansas? If not, no need to increase Miles pay by an astounding million dollars a year. Maybe something modest as a token of appreciation and good faith, but not 5.25 MM a year. I think that would make him the highest paid coach in the NCAA.

I still think this is all BS.
