It's no more crass than the woman who wanted funding after spending too much money on PowerBall tickets.

Hopefully, someone will ask the guy what he is going to do with the money if he doesn't hit his $10.6m target.

Hopefully he will buy season tickets to another school. We dont need fans like him.

Do yall want him?

What about you? Do we need fans like you? You seem to constantly be arguing with what I consider really good Tiger fans that actually buy tickets and cheer hard for the Tigers.

25 posts lol. Go with him

So I need to have over 16k posts to be a Tiger fan, that's interesting. I thought going to the games for close to 40 yrs. would qualify me.

Almost to $500, this is more a pipe dream then anything else. Good publicity of the feel around the team though.

For the record, despite posting numerous questions about whether we should start a Gofundme page I did not, in fact, start that page

The main ones who should pay are the ones responsible for his contract extention or maybe they should lose their jobs with pastner.

You want the some of our biggest boosters to lose their jobs?

They can pay off that 10.6 million if they were the ones responsible is what i'm saying. The contract is just dumb. Letting josh stay this year and basically still owe him the same amount is dumber. No other way to put it. Makes me wonder what we don't know about the fuente negotiations last year. Did we lowball him too much? Did someone get in an argument with an agent? I'm kind of losing confidence in whoever is calling the shots. Not sure if the athletic director is just a puppet or what is going on here.

Va tech's contract looks different from our last fuente contract in several aspects (more than double the total, assistant $, buyout).

VA Techs contract looks different because THEY HAVE MORE MONEY AND RESOURCES. We could have and probably did offer Fuente close to 2.5 million he negotiated a lower base pay in his extension the year before to have a smaller buyout. Fuente was never going to stay past this season if we backed up a brink truck much like if Norvell is successful he will leave too.

This is an embarrassment for Memphis and University. Glad it was taken down. Can't believe CA and News3 gave it publicity.

it needs to be embarrassing. They all should be ashamed. Whomever gave josh that contract need to be dragged out into the light. Josh should be ashamed. There are some valuable lessons to be learned here. No need in hiding from it..

According to the CA:

Pastner and Bowen agreed in principle to a new deal in March but the particulars weren't disclosed at the time. The school drafted a new contract for Pastner instead of amending the previous agreement, and Pastner, Bowen and outgoing U of M President Shirley Raines signed it this week.

Yikes. Pretty humiliating and embarrassing for Josh (and the University), but it does offer fans the chance to put their money where their mouth is. So far, it doesn't appear that many are willing to ante up.
