Yeah....he's not going to offer a billion dollars to keep him. If Fitzgerald wanted to go to the Packers, there's no way NU would be able to match the money that he'd get in Green Bay. But I don't think he really wants to go and probably figures his salary is good enough to stay in a place that he truly enjoys being. But if it was about money, the Packers would win that fight.

Maybe not. Packers money might only be for three or four years. NU gig could last 20 years.

Yeah. That's a valid point on in that the relationship seems to be mutual. ie, both parties seem more than happy with things as is and figure they could each do A LOT worse. Plus, he's alumni and all that. And it's not like NU really has a history of football dominance where they can demand competing for national championships. They seem more than happy with what they have going on.
TBH, it's a special and unique relationship that is rarely seen in this day and age at any FBS program, let alone a P5 program.
