Some people get millions for fucking up royally.
BOULDER - Gary Barnett reluctantly stepped down as football coach of CU Thursday, accepting a $3 million settlement and ending a tenure that was riddled by off-the-field problems.

He finally got canned only because the Buffs got embarrassed on the field.
