My dream job would be to get rich by getting fired.

why does ku have to worry about what notre dame pays?

Maybe KU hiring Weis was a super-secret plot to bankrupt ND and force them right into the Big 12.

I'm probably wrong, but I assumed Weis' contract expectations were going to be similar to previous contracts.

And KU just hired a guy that Notre Dame paid $19m to go away as their head coach.

Somebody needs to dig up those Weis/ku contract provisions.

Unbelievable coming from a fan of a school that owed Ron Prince like $6 million after he was fired. And Weis' contract isn't even close to $19 million. More like 5 years, $12 million with buyout clauses.

Lawrence friend relayed a recent Weis story involving his living situation.

....frontbutt (fb) told Z he needed a place to live, so they set up a master suite at 10 grand/month ......Z agreed to pay the first 3 months, then Charlie could take it from there

....halfway into the 3rd month, fb, called the owners into his office and told them his wasn't to big on this 10 thousand dollar a month deal...........they thought maybe there was something he didn't like about the suite or whatever......so they offered to knock it down to 8

.......he sat back in his chair, slapped his belly, leaned forward and said "boys, i'm thinking about payin' nothin!........zero"

.......the owners exchanged looks and replied to fb by telling him that he can pay his rent on the 1st or find another place to live.....no hard feelings

true story

Your school is paying Mangino, Gill, and Weis right now. All three have been let go from their last job.

What a dipshit university.

Pretty sure I remember it being announced that there wasn't a buyout clause and that his 5 yrs is guaranteed unless he retires. I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure this is what they announced.

You are wrong. If Weis leaves for the NFL, he would actually owe KU money.

Beems, thoughts on paying 3 coach's right now? KU's econ class should not be accredited.

I don't know if KU is still paying Mangino. It has been three years now, and we're rich. LOL at a K-State fan bagging on KU's law school when K-State is too poor of a school to have one. Also, Bill James, the creator of sabermetrics and the guy who Moneyball was loosely based on, graduated with an economics degree from KU. It's a very good program.

Sorry. Ku's law school is dog crap. It just is. KSU not having one doesn't make ku's better.

That's hilarious coming from a guy who got a law degree from the worst school in the city of Boston. KU's law school is top 100, which isn't bad.

Kstates Ag Programs are top 5, which is better than "not bad"

Beems, I know you're never the sharpest tack in the box. But Kansas Regents schools just don't get to wake up one day and decide they're going to have a particular field of study. It never has been that way, and never will be that way.
