Either we are the greatest clown show on earth (possible) or we got played. The health issues were known at the beginning of this mini drama. It was never coming down to money or authority, we were ready to give on both. So at the very beginning we would have said, we know health is a concern, we can't and won't start this process unless you assure us it will not come down to health. And UM or his agent had to give a nod yes. And a month later, with max exposure, it comes down to health and we look like fools.
Please understand, when we went after Saban, it was mainly 1 guy negotiating outside of his mandate because he wanted Saban. The UM pursuit was a coordinated effort by some of the smartest and best business people we have. They would not have tripped on an easily diagnosed fatal flaw. No, we got positive signals then UM pulled the rug out from under. The question is why. My guess is it all comes back to his loathing of Herman but that is just a guess.
