Mike Anderson's agent, Jimmy Sexton, who is based on Memphis, is leaking to media to try to leverage MU AD Alden to up Anderson's deal past $2M per season. A source has told me repeatedly that Sexton's scheme will not work.
That sources close to the Arkansas program" have been telling reporters (mostly from Oklahoma, strangely enough) that Anderson is a done deal for days seems to stand in contrast with the one semi-fact we have in our hands from the time period after Thursday night. But we don't have records of incoming and outgoing calls to Anderson's cell phone, and nobody's logged on to FlightAware.com (somehow) to try to find out if some plane from Fayetteville flew to Hutchinson, KC, for a late-night meeting last night. So anything anybody thinks they know at this point stems from the reliability of "sources close to the Arkansas program.
During the term of this Restated Contract for Employment, or any extension thereof, the Employee agrees that he will not actively seek, negotiate for, or accept other full-time employment of any nature ... without the prior written permission of the Director of Intercollegiate Athletics and the Chancellor of the University of Missouri-Columbia, which permission shall not be unreasonably withheld.
In other words, if Anderson indeed is in negotiations with Arkansas, he must have written permission or be in violation of his contract. Repeated attempts since Friday to reach Alden via e-mail and phone message have been unsuccessful.
