    @RV: Or he could give maybe 100 grand to APU and save their whole football program.

    Gus Malzahn should be set for life. Now that’s a “golden parachute;” I’m guessing at least some of the money is from Auburn boosters. (I could be wrong, though.)
    I hope Malzahn uses some of that buyout to help the less fortunate in his state and community during these difficult times.

    Auburn fires Malzahn and USC keeps Helton. Go figure. Malzahns buyout is $21,450,000. And I thought colleges were broke. Now he can go get another high paying gig.
