Weis = Big Buy-Out

Whoever wants Charlie Weis to coach their team will need to pay a lot of cash.

BUYOUT

Let's put all of the Charlie Weis-to-the-NFL possibilities to bed, shall we? I've got the real number it would take to buy him out of his contract, which has nine years left to run at Notre Dame. That figure plus the fact that he doesn't want to leave should take him out of the NFL pool for the foreseeable future.

The rock-solid, no-exceptions buyout number for Weis from Notre Dame:

$21 million.
