I'll never understand some of these buyouts. Its pure insanity that a coach can significantly under perform and still get awarded 8 figures. I know the schools usually don't have a ton of leverage and I guess it's clearly cheaper than paying out the rest of the contract, but I can't believe a lot of these buyouts aren't contingent on performance.

Schools lose the negotiation battle from the jump. Most of the coaches are represented by one of like two or three agents if I'm not mistaken. Those guys are so much better than the ADs and they essentially make the rules. As soon as one guy gets a high buyout, that becomes the new standard to base from. I doubt many places are going to jump to full guaranteed like aTm but we may see it for now high profile hires... Which admittedly don't happen that often.
