This is also probably a stratigic move to solidify WKU's position for the next round of realignment!
Until the details of the contract come out, this is a great hire.
If the contracts states that any defamation of WKU can result in firing, the price is reasonable and the buyout can be null and void for any violation - it's a win-win
The AD is on record for stating they would make Taggert the highest paid coach in the SBC. If he stayed.
The prolly got Petrino at a 30% discount.
WKU needs to put a clause in the contract that in addition to a buyout that whoever hires Petrino has to give WKU a home & home series

Petrino owes WKU 1.2m if HE terminates contract
Per Travis Webb's twitter feed. @travisjwebb
Patrino will coach WKU for one season and dart to a BCS school after something opens up next season
