I think the buyout sounds better than I had expected. But it's a small cost to begin repairing the shambles.

This gets us to why Holder is implicated in all this. Who in their right mind gives Travis Ford a 10 year contract starting at $2M a year that grows later into $3M a year? That's longer than Gundy has been at OSU and longer than his contract. Holder has gotten a pass for a lot of things, but these events force you to go back and look at his record.

Holder tries to run Gundy off every off-season, squeezes fans for the nation's most expensive ticket prices, and has irresponsibly handled the athletic dept's financial windfall. We can all agree that keeping Gundy would be a good strategy.
