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.
