Lane Kiffin to receive Ole Miss playoff bonuses from LSU despite leaving Rebels before postseason: report

Urban Meyer joins Colin Cowherd to discuss Miami’s argument to make the CFP over Notre Dame, Ohio State’s matchup with Indiana in the Big Ten Championship, and Lane Kiffin moving from Ole Miss to LSU.

Even better, Kiffin was set to make $250,000 if the team reached the quarterfinals, $500,000 for a semifinal appearance, and a whopping $750,000 if Ole Miss reached the national championship.
