ASU Update: Source tells me that buyout was NOT a factor in June Jones negotiation. An ASU booster was ready & willing to write $2M check.

Steinberg almost alluded to that on his blog

no, it was the resounding opposition to Jones from most fans, boosters, former players, etc.

There was a lot of grassroots effort to halt this deal at the last minute.

There had been the same effort all week. Remember when the talks "lost traction" early Tuesday?

I really don't know what to think at this point. They pulled the rug from under him.

I joined asu rivals and they had some great insight. Just like our "CofC", ASU has a similar group. Just like Mustang Club, they have Sun Devil club.

It took a lot of work to dissuade Lisa Love (their psuedo-AD) and one influential booster that JJ was not the right man for them right now.

Makes sense that it's a smokescreen. $2 mil for a buyout really isn't much to a BCS school

Everything is relative. Martha stewart went to prison for insider trading so she could save 50,000

I will say ASU fans and boosters can obviously speak loudly, heck if we were about to pay 2 million to a HS coach that had 1 year experience, nobody at SMU would even notice and the deal would go through
