Married couple bids $100,000 to spend day with New York Jets' Tim Tebow - ESPN New York - One couple is willing to spend $100,000 to spend a day with the New York Jets quarterback. That amount was the winning bid in a live auction during Friday night's gala event that kicked off the Tim Tebow Celebrity Golf Classic, which is a fundraising event for the Tim Tebow Foundation. The husband and wife, whom the foundation declined to identify, plan to share their day with Tebow with underprivileged children near their home in the Florida Keys. "It was very humbling, and you don't necessarily feel worthy," Tebow said Saturday after the golf tournament's conclusion at TPC Sawgrass. "That day I feel like I've got to do a few extra things to be special, you know? I've got to try to be a little bit better."

In doing so, Petrino would not be paid $3.5 million this year and as much as $17.5 million remaining on his contract. At the time, Arkansas told news that its determination was to fire Petrino “with cause”, denying him his buyout clause payment. Did Petrino contest Arkansas’ ruling? No, new documents indicate. On Saturday, new Arkansas documents were released from the matter. In them, Russ Campbell, Petrino’s agent, told the University that Petrino would not appeal the buyout payment denial. Petrino through Campbell told his former boss, Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long, that he was accepting “responsibility for the events that led to the university’s decision to terminate his contract” and would not seek an appeal of the decision.
