Message: [QUOTE="G-Dawg, post: 3506534, member: 9608"] From what I've gathered (and this is just message board rumors, which I normally don't peddle in, but want to qualify it as such first)...Vic and the Texas AD were discussing this before they announced Aston wasn't going to be renewed, which to me is something you don't do. Also, the tweet with Vic and family giving the "Hook 'Em" sign went out at 2:44pm and supposedly he didn't talk to his girls until after that. If that's the case, I lost a TON of respect for a man that I respected immensely. I hope I'm wrong. As for salary, he was making over 1.5 million at MSU and our AD is reported as saying we offered to match what UT offered (around $2 million - it was going to be a 5 year deal for $10 million). Vic declined. His parents (elderly) live in Austin. Vic was born in Austin. I think this virus made him evaluate family and wanting to be closer to his own. I'm still pissed at how he left, though.
