According to an article posted on Death Valley Voice difference in CMM’s buyout is:

If we don't have to pay his salary, it's a win

Maybe somebody can contact Shaq for some help. He said he wasn’t watching MBB because they were a bad team.
He probably has $7M laying around in his spare change dish. It’d be worth a call

You realize it goes down because it is connected to his salary, right?

If he is working he is getting paid lol.

I wonder how they came up with those numbers. He has 4 years left on his contract after this season. He'll make $2.9m, $3m, $3.1m, and $3.2m over those 4 seasons for a total of $12.2m. LSU would owe him 80% of that total if they fire him after this season, which would be about $9.76m.

However, the buyout isn't due all at once. It's to be paid in monthly installments over the same time period that's left on his contract. So, 4 years, if fired after this season, which would make the annual buyout payments a little over $2.4m each.

Something to keep in mind, McMahon would be required to make a good-faith effort to find another coaching, executive or media job in college or pro basketball. And whatever he makes from that job would reduce by that much what LSU would owe him.

Because of that, the two parties could agree to a reduced lump sum settlement, which perhaps actually could come out to about $7m, if not less.

Sickening. We’re on the hook for his incompetence. Hopefully contracts start having performance guarantees built in especially for mid tier coaches.

Just did. I see now how the writer came up with his number. He said LSU would owe MM 50% of his remaining contract value. It's actually 80% per the buyout language in MM's contract (his contract is available online).

Regardless, I imagine the two sides could go for a negotiated reduced settlement, should MM be let go.

Didn’t. Woodward is a loon.

Wow, didnt realize that was it, feels like an easy decision

Likely would be without the $20+million coming out of the budget for revenue sharing beginning in 25-26 school year.

Who would come in and make us a ‘blue blood’? I just don’t see much changing and as much as I enjoyed the excitement that WW brought, didn’t see it as sustainable here. Maybe I’m wrong.

McTrans is historically bad. Dude seems like a great person but that doesn’t win games. Cut ties and move on.

Hire tPear back…
