That’s very true. Was it determined if he was doing this on purpose and, if so, couldn’t the university try and recoup some of the money owed because he’s not taking a competitive pay?

I think they could prove he's purposefully taking non-competitive pay but it's not worth pursuing. We'd have to lawyer-up and we end-up looking like the bad guys, a blueblood program picking on the underfunded beavers. Better to just accept the hit and move-on to better days.
Yea, it is time to move on. Nebraska made mistakes. It happens. I don't get the need for all this who was worse or who did what. It is behind us, we have positives to concentrate on and down the road in a few years think how happy we were to have Riley when we did, so the door opened for Frost!
Forget the negatives, pursue the positives.

Unfortunate but not uncommon. Pelini did it, too. You do something nice for the people willing to hire you, at the expense of the people who fired you. A d!(k move, but can't say I wouldn't be tempted myself.

I don't see where this is even debatable.
Riley may have been a worse coach than Callahan but hands down Callahan was worse for our football program. Pelini's few faults were that he was a d!(k, seemed satisfied with 9 wins of little importance, was convinced we couldn't recruit any better and built an unhealthy bunker mentality. But he was a much better coach than the other two.
Callahan destroyed our traditions and fundamentally changed Husker football. Worst by far.
Pelini was convinced the job he was doing was good enough. Bad but not in the same category.
Riley made the program soft....Downy soft. 2nd worst.

Find this perspective a bit short sided. If Riley had been hired at the time of Callahan, you'd be saying Riley is who destroyed our traditions. That is focusing the argument essentially on timing. If we focus entirely on the field, Riley is without question the worst (as you stated).
I can't believe I'm defending Callahan but all he did was bring the system he believed in at the instruction of Pederson. You could also argue Callahan's system worked.
Now if you want to argue who is the worse AD, timing must be apart of it and I personally would put Pederson over Eichorst.

Personally, I think Bo is mostly just enjoying some time in a low-profile job. Gotta be better for the blood pressure for a guy like that, you know?
