Is There a Site That Tracks Buy Out Money?

For instance, is there a place you can go to see how much a school and/or conference has paid in head coaching buyouts during a given time frame or since a certain date?
How much has each school spent on buyouts since covid is what I am looking for without having to google each and every coach and school.
How much has the SEC spent since 2020 paying head football coaches to go away?
I want to see how much this is compared to the profit coming from SEC football. Surely it is still in the black.

I was looking for an easy way to figure out the total amount SEC schools have paid in buyouts since 2020. I just looked it up school by school by school, coach by coach. Since 2020, SEC schools have spent $276 million on head football coach buy outs. If you had $276 million in disposable income how would you spend it?
Here is how some schools spent some of their booster’s money.
Texas A&M: $77 million - Jimbo
LSU: $70 million
O: $17 million
Kelly: $53 million
Auburn: $52 million
Gus $21.45 million
Harsin: $15.3 million
Freeze: $15.8 million
Florida: $33 million
Mullen: $12 million
Napier: $21 million
Texas: $15 million - Herman
South Carolina: $13 million - Muschamp
Arkansas: $8 million - Pitboss
Mississippi State: $4.5 million - Arnett
Vanderbilt: private, estimated at $3.5 million - Mason

There is a good chance it isn't negotiated down as well. Where is BK's incentive to take less money unless he's swimming in debt which seems unlikely. You are dreaming.

You are arguing from a place of ignorance with people who have significantly more knowledge than you.

For comparison sake, the SEC dispersed $52.5 million to each school (less Texas and Oklahoma who each received about half that) in revenue profit sharing for the 23/24 fiscal year.
Considering that outside of this profit sharing some schools are running near break even annually for all sports, a big buyout could send a school into the red.

I’d say it’s a zero chance. The only thing that may be negotiated is the length and method of the payout.

When I hear or read something from a reputable source that it is being negotiated down I will believe it.
LSU fans on this board have proven to not be a reputable source for news and their predictions generally suck.
The fact that LSUSthephen is pushing the idea of a reduced buyout is probably the most troubling sign for LSU.

When the chips are down, Marcus Lavanda is a better spellchecker and grammar-checker than the SECrant.

I'd like to know how much schools have paid out to the dozens & dozens of coordinators and position coaches.
Some programs change coordinators almost annually and have to pay those buyouts + the $$ to pull a new coordinator away from another program.
When coordinators are pulling close to $2mm/yr for a 2-3 yr guaranteed contract and they get canned after one season....it gets costly.

Yes, the A&M athletics budget site.

Brought to you by the fanbase that thinks that the only way they don't land Lane is if they get Saban instead. I hear your governor wants to clone Vince Lombardi.
