Well, at least this is not exactly "under-the-table" shady, but it is kind of "in-your-face";

FedEx CEO is offering $10mil/year to any BCS conference that will invite Memphis to join. His son, a QB, transferred from Miami, and daddy apparently wants sonny to QB a BCS contender. The $$ will be for each year of any contract the conference and Memphis come up with, to spend as they please.

Wow! FedEx lays off about 1000 workers because of tough times, but since pulling their Orange Bowl sponsorship, can afford to get one person a shot at playing for a BCS school. If I were a shareholder or a layed off employee, I'd be smoldering right now. If this were still a private company, it would be one thing, but there are also shareholders to consider.

Can't say he's taking the usual underhanded approach, for sure.
