Painter was Alden's only real choice last time, the only difference this time is that Alden's only choice said yes, instead of pulling out.

I'm pretty certain they contacted him through the search firm and had some discussions. It was progressing well until Saturday night.
As for making it work monetarily... I am pretty certain a certain huge donor (who has anonymously bankrolled huge, recent donations to Mizzou athletics) would have made up any difference Alden needed him to.
But still, even if no Marshall... there were a lot of other, better options than Kim Anderson that should have been the No. 2 option instead of him.
