As you can see below, a message was posted to a Michigan State message board (pay site) which claims Fickell will get a 5-year, $25.5 million contract plus incentives. MSU would also be on the hook to pay Cincinnati a $2 million buyout.
The rumor also suggests Fickell will also bring Cincinnati defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman and top QB recruit, Evan Prater, with him to East Lansing.
As stated, this is just a rumor at this point but it certainly seems to be gaining some traction.
