Boosters did indeed take out money, right?

Did the boosters already put money towards the coach or are they waiting for a signed deal?

I thought an MOU was signed and they had already taken out their money.

I couldn't imagine what it would be like to be on the "bad side" of a booster. Especially a Haslem.

There never was proof i seen of anything signed, just rumor's sadly

I feel silly for believing all of it.

But there is another $18 million dollars that the athletic department does no longer have to contribute to academic scholarships.

If what is being said is true, about Hart not wanting Gruden and waiting til today to make a courtesy call after the boosters basically had a deal then I wouldn't be surprised to find out that a lot of them took their money back and told the school good luck paying for a coach. But that is if everything thats been rumored i true, but it would explain Harts push to get the school to free up the cash, knowing he was gonna cross the boosters he knew he would need money to get a coach without them but played the gruden card to get the BOT to free up the cash for him.
I just hope that was all just rumors though because our program could be in serious trouble if Hart just did piss off the big boosters. Also if he did then I could see the boosters letting the public know they had gruden and hart refused to sign him so there would be a major baklash from the fan base too that would deliver an even more crippling blow to the football programs finances.
