Exactly. We have zero idea what Gus has asked for.

Imagine another company called you and offered you basically double what you are making now and pretty much a contract that would end your earning needs for you and your family for the rest of your life and the rest of theirs. Would you just say, no because I like where I am or would you act upon it?

My hope is we can come up with a deal that keeps him but doesn't match the absurdity of $50 million guaranteed. I don't know what that looks like or if it happens but we will see

FWIW I do think Gus would like to stay at AU but if his alma mater is willing to give him everything & the world, that might end up being hard to pass up. We will see what happens. Just ready for this thing to end either way

Also ppl better be ready for our recruiting class to tank if Gus leaves. Timing is just awful
