Yeah that's what the buyout is for January 1, 2015-December 31,2016. Anything before that is 2.5 mill.

Right, but contracts don't generally have buyouts structured that way, at least not the way I have heard this one described.

WSU vs. Rodriguez. The case ended up being settled with Rodriguez paying $1.5 million and Michigan paying $2.5 million to cover the $4 million buyout.

I'd also like to mention that these buyouts are extremely common, but are rarely enforced because no athletic department wants to have a coach in place that wants to be somewhere else and feels they are being forced to stay. It seems they usually settle on a lower figure and let the coach leave.

It'd be risky for KU to sue and force Weis to pay the full thing if he wants out after the Mangino incident, then the Gill fiasco. I'd think it would be hard to get a good coach to come in after that, even if Weis turns the program around.

Weis apparently visiting this Duaron Williams guy too today.

Real push into Florida for recruiting so far.

interesting

in our other sport we worry about beating out the top schools for talent.

This is football. It's like a hobby for us. Who really cares?

Why can't you just say something like, "We are a rebuilding program. We don't expect to land top talent, but I like seeing that Coach Weis is hitting the recruiting trail pretty hard."

Why do you have to be a dumbass and try to speak for every KU fan out there? I know a lot of the people I went to KU with care about the state of the football program.

[Rasputin]

Just so ironic that Weis gets hired for KU & Haley gets fired from Chiefs. Weird.

This post is full of stupid. Don't speak for me or any KU fans. You should of been a MUron, you post like one sometimes.

I was being sarcastic playing off the usual bashing of KU fans picking bball over fball as their primary focus.

really, not a big deal

[Braincase]

I think Wickedson is the obnoxious cousin at a family reunion that you send over to talk with the unwelcome party crashers, saying the most outrageous stuff just to keep perpetually yanking their chain, while the rest of the family members get to have a serious conversation about the family trust.

He's not here to yank the KU fans' collective chains... he's here to yank theirs, and I think he does a damn fine job of it.

Did you see the new commits we landed?

he's treating all the trolls from other schools with the same crap they do us.


KU fans turn on each other almost as much as the other schools
