I also read an interesting article today. It's a fan article, and I was wondering if anyone else had heard anything about this clause in Franklin's contract:
Coach Franklin’s contract is for approximately 3.5 million a year which makes him the fifth highest paid coach in the SEC just behind Nick Saban, Kevin Sumlin, Les Miles, and Steve Spurrier. According to a source in the athletic department there is no buy out clause. But the way the contract is written the turf on the football field that was put down two years ago and the new 31 million dollar indoor practice facility is tied to Coach Franklin and his contract. And if he leaves whichever school wants our coach has to pay off the upgrades that Franklin asked for and received.
It comes from this article.

Yeah, i had heard that it was part of his contract. I hadn't heard about the percentage of sales. Thats quite interesting. i would also like to know if that clause has a term, i.e., will he only receive that percentage as long as he is coach? CVDW knows how to keep coaches. From Corbin to Franklin, he will hold onto the best. Read this: How I learned to stop worrying and anchor down
