Reports circulating earlier Wednesday that the university’s Board of Visitors had approved a buyout of the remaining three years of Groh’s contract and that UVa Director of Athletics Craig Littlepage was seeking contributors for that buyout were false, according to sources who requested to remain anonymous.

Ha! More anonymous sources. We’ll see whose anonymous-source mojo is stronger, I guess. Or maybe both are right: they approved a buyout, but then decided not to do it.

The article also reports that Coach Groh is making $2 million a year, which strikes me as deeply absurd.

And let us not forget Groh also set the bar for multi-cultural sensitivity and stilled our fear of flying after 9/11 when he remarked, “I’m not saying this to make light of it by any means, but I’m not planning on having Arabs in the traveling party, so therefore I think probably that the threat of our being hijacked is pretty remote.”
