WOTS is he's holding out until we beat OSU tomorrow and he can ask for another 10 mill.

49 - 0.

Holy fuck.

What does that say about U-M, who couldn't hold on for a win against Sparty?

I think it says both U-M and MSU are pee-wee league teams compared to Ohio State.

I am bracing for another OSU ass kicking of the Wolverines next weekend.

I actually agree with Matt. MSU has been beyond embarrassing. There was no, nilch, zero defense played. OSU did whatever they wanted. They might beat Michigan, but no way you play as bad as this abortion going on now.

I root for Michigan but am no slappy. Valenti is picking Michigan to win. I am not sure what the line is, but I like OSU 38 U-M 21. If Blake Corum sits, OSU 38 Michigan 10.

The buyout, if Tucker were to take another job, remains essentially the same as his original deal. If he leaves before Jan. 15, 2022, Tucker would owe $2.5 million. It goes down by $500,000 each year until 2024, at which point the buyout is $1 million and would remain at that amount through the end of the contract.

If Michigan State were to fire Tucker without cause, it would be responsible to pay the remainder of the contract.
This sort of seems like a one-sided commitment...

:lol Scared, huh?

First you start this bullshit thread implying he's not gonna sign the contract, then he does and you blabber on how he was grossly overpaid, and now the entire college football world is turned around and his deal looks like a brilliant bargain for the university.

Why are you so concerned with MSU anyway? UM is in the Big Ten Championship game for the first time.....EVER.....and you're posting about the Spartan coaches contract details? You really come across more of an internet troll than a true UM fan.

Not scared at all - I was looking to see if there was an article about Harbaugh donating his bonus and I saw that article and clicked on it. I'm pretty comfortable with where Michigan's current trajectory is. I just am still shocked that state threw that much money at a guy who has had one winning season.

You remember the phone booth scene from Airplane? That’s the trustees going after the guy with a contract once the winning season was secured.
