I haven't researched it but I feel assured each had their own reasoning and maybe some extenuating circumstance. Wouldn't make sense for any other reason...In order for there to be a negotiation, each side would have to be willing. To add, Brown would have to be willing to give up guaranteed money - money he knows is coming to him - by giving up the one thing he has going for him, his "ace in the hole", the guarantee.  Plus, he knows he has WVU bent over the barrel - it is he who actually has the upper hand in the deal because he knows WVU probably won't be able to come up with the money it's going to take to get him to leave. To give you an example, I buy my house this year at 8% interest. Two years from now, if interest rates are lower, I walk into the bank and ask to refinance. The bank doesn't have to negotiate - they have the upper hand. Only if they see a financial benefit will they even agree to negotiate. Otherwise, like WVU, I'm stuck by the terms I agreed to. This was why I was adamant that WVU should have sold the farm so to speak to get Deion here (assuming it was possible). Yes, it would have cost us some high interest on the front end - but we would have gotten our first choice, it was an immediate upgrade with pretty much guaranteed money coming in,  and we could always go back and renegotiate later. Instead, we may be stuck moving from the modular home we have now to the trailer park because we end up getting our 8th option later because of the competition we have to face. Ultimately, it doesn't matter what I'm "willing to go through" if I don't have the financial means to change the outcome. I don't think WVU does or is willing to part with it without at least an upgrade ready to move in.</blockquote>
