Message: [QUOTE="PoppyHart, post: 2129455, member: 515"] If Jimmy is really gonna contest the "PLAN" then he should publicly offer Buddy a scholarship and have him provide a verbal commit. In November he signs the LOI. At that point, the University has an even greater PR mess on its hands. Sure, they could fire/replace JB & release Buddy from the LOI, but the offer/signing signals that JB is invested for at least 4 more years, not that he's "year- to-year" as is the popular opinion. So the administration has a weaker argument that the band-aid needs to be ripped off asap. I don't personally agree with this strategy. I think we'll be in the same exact boat in 3-4 years with a lame duck coach, uncertain recruiting, etc... But that would really force the administration into an awkward spot. [/QUOTE]
