re: Cam Cameron gets paid $600k 1st yr $1.3M 2nd, $1.5M 3rd

I assume that the first "year" is based on some kind of 6/30 fiscal yr., otherwise it is very odd.
If not a fiscal year adjustment, does CC and/ or LSU have some sort of option at the end of yr.1, which creates thepay disparity?
It's just odd.
