Said it was probably closer to half that. I don't know who's right and don't really even care very much, but he said he was pretty well sourced on this one and the $4.5 million number was fanciful. Claimed they started the bidding at $1.5 and worked up from there by dropping a commitment to a freshman. Worth a listen.
