Donovan attempts to leave Orlando

GAINESVILLE — Two sources within the University of Florida athletic department confirmed late Sunday to Florida Today that Billy Donovan has changed his mind after signing a five-year, $27.5 million deal on Friday to coach the Orlando Magic and wants out of the contract.

Meanwhile, Virginia Commonwealth coach Anthony Grant, who was an assistant under Donovan for 10 seasons at Florida and was expected to be named his replacement, released a statement Sunday night saying he has not been offered the Gator job - as many had anticipated.

Foxsports.com initially reported that Donovan had a change of heart, which was confirmed by UF sources to FLORIDA TODAY. ESPN.com also reported that Donovan wants to stay in Gainesville.
