If we piss away Howland AND Smart, have fun MU

Negotiate them all the time.  Usually the ones like this, you get the main terms down, but you don't paper it for months down the road.  You might have a memo of understanding or some other document to get things "done enough" while all the details get hammered out down the road.  When we get deals done at the last minute when a channel comes down, or something similar, it often results in something of that nature.

Same here - been negotiating contracts for years, often for WAY more $$$ than involved here.  If it's an important enough deal, you can start and finish the negotiation in one day. 

And with the comments about MU administration seeing this one coming - maybe even helping  Brent find the door - it's pretty inconceivable that they wouldn't have had something started way in advance.

You have a lot of passion for someone that only spent one semester at MU

Semester?  Wasn't it more like a month?
