Orlando, FL (Best E Casino) - According to a report, Billy Donovan is trying to get out of his contract with the Orlando Magic and return to the University of Florida.

Fox Sports, citing two sources close to the situation, reported that Donovan has contacted the Magic in an attempt to get out of his contract he signed on Thursday. The site reports that Donovan was forced into a rash decision and would like to return to the Gator program he led to the second of consecutive national titles this past season.

Donovan was introduced as the newest head coach of the Magic on Friday. He signed a reported five-year deal worth $27.5 million.

Speculation grew of Donovan's weariness over the weekend when Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley didn't meet with lead candidate Anthony Grant, the current head coach at VCU.

In Gainesville, Donovan compiled a 261-103 mark over 11 seasons, leading the Gators to the national championship the last two years and a championship game appearance in 2000.

Earlier this offseason, he turned down a lucrative offer to become the head coach at the University of Kentucky, but apparently the opportunity in the NBA was too much for him to pass up -- that was until now.

In 13 years of collegiate coaching, which included two years at Marshall before joining the Gators, Donovan compiled a 296-123 record.

In Orlando, he would replace Brian Hill, who was fired on May 23 after two consecutive losing seasons and a sweep at the hands of the Detroit Pistons in the first round of the playoffs this season.
