College football and reality usually don't mix well.There was the recent revelation the University of Tennessee is paying overhyped wunderkind Lane Kiffin and his bloated staff more than $5 million. There is Texas Tech giving Mike Leach a take or leave it ultimatum on a contract extension that includes something like $12 million more for college football's most overrated coach.
Did anyone at these universities realize we're experiencing an economic meltdown?
Well, finally news that some programs are acknowledging what the rest of us are experiencing is encouraging. The Associated Press reported today that the University of Miami will trade in flights for charter buses and in other story that the three largest schools in Mississippi are preparing for rough times.
This is just the start. No university is immune to the recession. Except maybe Notre Dame, who flew coaches to Hawaii like every day to get linebacker Manti Te'o to commit to the mainland.

Miami's going to bus????
wow. there are some schools that could do that without it being too bad of a drive. Miami is not one of those.
The U is not busing every where. Just to Central Florida and some other Florida school. But they said it would save them about $450,000.
