Some of you are thinking if he will take it then it is a done deal. Is he going to take a pay cut? Because we are not paying him 1.4 million. And what about his buyout and his staff buyouts? Who is going to foot that almost 7 million dollar check? Like all in this would be a 12-14 million dollar commitment JUST FOR STAFFING. And these are the same people that you are going to then turn around and ask them to give you an addition 3-5 million for baseball NIL too?

I would not get your hopes up for O?Conner. Because even if he were to resign to try and get around the buyout I feel certain his contract has language in it guarding UVA from exactly that.

Look if you can get him for 1.0-1.2 and can negotiate a buyout somewhere in the 3-5 mil range then maybe it is doable. But I would not get your hopes up for O?Conner.
