When Penn State moved on from James Franklin, Pat Kraft thought he'd have the pick of the litter, now LSU and Florida have jumped to the front of the line.
Maybe Penn State made paying $50 million buyouts cool because now everybody is doing it. Weeks after the program agreed to pay James Franklin $50 million+ (which could be drastically cut by the offset language in his contract), the second-largest buyout in college football history behind Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M, LSU decided it could round up $50 million to move on from Brian Kelly.
