So it came out after the firing that apparently they settled on a $15M buyout. Not sure why Allen would agree to that, but it does save them a little.

I also get the feeling that they see KU, UNC, and Duke doing well in football and they feel left out. More importantly, a lot of insiders are projecting a massive restructuring of FBS in about 5 years. If Indiana can't demonstrate that they "add value" (barf) to the Super-Premier-TV-Fantasy League then they will be left behind like WSU and OSU.
