I'm just baffled why anyone gives a FUCK about the payout. Quit your bitching and moaning. We're about to go on a Pac 12 road tour.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
Again I ask, where are the other FBS programs offering us 7 figure checks?
Anyone? Beuller? Baylor? Did Baylor offer us a cool 3 mil to stroll on down to Waco and beat their asses? If this is a bad deal, where's the good deal? Because from where I'm sitting, we just turned a zero dollar, or a payout to Mississippi Valley State Junior College for the Siblings of the Blind Orphans into 675k.

I may just be a simple farmer, but to my eye 675,000 dollars looks like more than zero point zero.
One thing farming teaches you that accounting doesn't. Sometimes there are only shit deals. You can pout, take your ball and go home, or you can take the best course available and do what can be done. I've studied inflation trends and TVOM tables. Nowhere in those charts is a silver bullet to create something out of nothing.
Now for the third time. Where is this better deal? Are you referring to the 650k from Oregon last year? Because that's gone. Gone like dust in the wind. It's not coming back. Using it as a standard of measure is not just silly, it's retarded.
What is the best option available? Take that option. End of discussion. You think Florida State became a national powerhouse by turning down offers to play? We play anyone, anywhere. Period.
its 7 years from now why foreclose every future option for this deal? How far into the future do you think the athletic departments budget projections run before there’s just a terminal growth rate assumption plugged in? 7 years is a long time and right now you can’t turn on CNBC or Bloomberg or fox business for 15 minutes without hearing “taper tantrum” or “inflation” come out of someone’s mouth.
I think Matt Larson has done a good job as the AD and I think he’ll probably continue to do a good job as AD but it seems to me he made a deal he didn’t have to make.
