📡 Stephens: Colorado State's $2 million game at Florida built on car chases, pizza and stupidity

[Denver Post]

Few college football games happen for reasons more stupid than what will bring Colorado State and Florida together Saturday. On the surface, this a standard nonconference game bound by a contract that pays the Rams $2 million for their trip to Gainesville to play their second Southeastern Conference

Wish Mac would just come back to CSU and be Sonny Lubick 2.0... But for some dumbass reason we extended... He must get a penalties committed bonus.

Now Mac is a WR coach at MIchigan... So weird. Oh well, RTR

In that I never log in, I must have read the details somewhere else. But when McElwain left Colorado State he was under contract and as I remember this is part of the buyout for Florida.

McElwain had to come out of his own pocket with $2 Mill to make it work.

Neither program is better for the move... CSU stuck with Bobo and Florida out about $12 Mill from his buyouts.

Thats the gist

Wonder if Coach Mullen has been told by the powers at Florida to put as many points as possible on Colorado St. That's a tall task since UF has had trouble putting points on the board. I am glad CSU was able to benefit financially.
