This will be used against Michigan in recruiting in conjunction with JH's contract. JH made changes to the offense and is going to want to be here next year when Corum, Henning, Wilson, Milton have experience and when McCarthy arrives to see everything pay off. Even if he decides to leave at some point or Michigan decides to move on down the road, there is no risk to a 4 to 6 year extension. You don't pay all that money; what is owed is determined by buyouts. You can make 8 mill a year and have a 2 mill buyout. Not sure why Manuel is waiting so damn long.
