yeah they will have to dig deep to pay that huge $0 buyout.

If Big Jim wants to fund a buyout, see if he'll fund Rich Rodriguez's buyout. A much better "buy" IMHO

I agree. If that was his 27th post I hate to see the other 26.

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.

This is about as obvious a line of bullcrap as I've ever seen on here. As has been stated here already, and on the Rant hundreds of times, Saban has NO buyout, so if these "in the know" sources really knew anything, they would certainly know that.

I'm not saying Saban doesn't go somewhere. He certainly could, its the nature of the profession (as you are learning). But it won't be under the scenario your "insider info" suggests.

EDIT: Now, if your insiders would like to buy out my contact with Kentucky in EA Sports NCAA Football, I would gladly accept. We've won 100+ straight games and 7 National Championships. Keep me in mind.

Thanks for the inside info buddy. I just sold all my Shaw stock.

And this is why you cannot believe 99% of things posted on a damn message board. People who don't feel loved in their offline lives need love somewhere else. They fabricate a story, often backfiring in their face. It is truly unbelievable. My lord people... STOP MAKING STUFF UP!!!

Please delete "I know somebody" rumors. Saban doesn't even have a buyout, so this discredits your "buddy".

It's a secret buyout.
