This caught my attention... 99.9% chance of bullshit, but I haven't seen a better theory as to why Alleva gave O such a ridiculous buyout.
Lot of interesting stuff in there. Louisville basketball makes double what Kentucky basketball does $42 mill v $21 mill. That's shocking and also not gonna be accurate any longer after Pitino gone. What an idiot Pitino is to get fired/caught. Bet Kentucky was active in trying to get him out too. I could see some really ugly bad blood between those two programs going on behind the scenes. As far as with LSU I definitely think they wanted to save some money for awhile with Orgeron. I think they initially had a couple big names they went after and when they got turned down they went with the money saving play.
