Kids can get processed at a moment’s notice but not coaches

I wish the PCSA would add a clause about buyouts for poor performance only being allowed to be 50% of the remaining contract value or something.

You get guys like BK who sign a big contract and then mail it in and go play golf every day because they’re guaranteed 90% of that money even if they suck at their job, as long as they don’t get caught in a major off field scandal.

Buyouts should not exist.

The entire concept is asinine.

I don’t understand why they gave him a 70 million buyout. Who was even wanting to hire him?

It might be but Congress shouldn’t be stepping into a field and setting artificial caps to what someone can earn.

The Athletic directors board of supervisors and boosters set this market how it is.

I hardly Rhule was ever a serious candidate for the PSU job. I think his agent did work.

With private institutions, absolutely.

With public institutions where states are on the hook?

There should 100% be rules and restrictions.

The state should not have to pay a sports ball coach millions of dollars because he was horrendous at his job.

The state does not pay them millions of dollars, though. Private donors do.

That is not true.
quote:

It’s a common misconception among fans that buyouts are paid by the Tiger Athletic Foundation, a private organization that raises money for LSU athletics. The university’s athletics department made all of the buyout payments, spokesman Zach Greenwell said.

Greenwell was unable to provide specific details about the extent private funds, if any, were used in the buyouts.

“There’s no direct line between private donations and the buyouts,” Greenwell said in an emailed statement. “They are all paid directly by LSU Athletics, and obviously self-generated funds and associated private funds are encompassed in athletics’ budget.”

While not tax dollars, the athletics department’s budget, primarily fueled with self-generated revenue, is still considered public money.
Public money is being used for these retarded contracts.

What state is on the hook? The buyouts are coming from booster money, at least that is the case with LSU. I’d guess most of these contracts are setup like LSU

Read my post above.

That is not where the buyouts all come from.

LSU’s spokesman even says that isn’t the case.

It was a lie to make people more accepting of this stupidity.
