The Democrat-Gazette, citing a source close to the situation, reported that Nebraska offered Nutt an annual compensation package of about $2 million.
Arkansas countered by offering $1.4 million a year for 10 years. Nebraska came back with a $2.5 million offer, according to the Democrat-Gazette.
Nutt's current deal is worth $800,000 annually.
Said Broyles: "Houston asked me, `If (Nebraska) offered me a lot of money, and I turned it down, would people think I'm crazy?' Itold him that he'd be praised. Of course, I was trying to sell our program."
This is an awful lot of money. I wonder how boosters feel about Pederson throwing around their money like this.
