Not if it doesn't roll over.

What is important is where the buyout is 3 years from now.


1) according to BelowPar, the buyout in 3 years is still $15 million. It doesn't even start dropping until after year 3.

2) I believe it's been mentioned, but the state limits the lengths of contracts to I believe 7 years, so he can't get it extended/rolled over if it is already at 7 years to begin with.

If BP is correct about that, I'd be a little bit disappointed.

This is almost a homerun contract for LSU. If the buyout decreased immediately, then LSU would have effectively solved the problem of the buyout because Miles isn't going anywhere for 3 years minimum.

If it takes 2 years for the buyout to decrease then that means he needs to make it 5 years for LSU to really benefit. That's not as good, but it's better than sitting in a perpetual rollover contract with no end in sight.

Supposedly, the details of the changes are going to be made public tomorrow.
