Over $63 million paid to coaches to not coach

Amazing these buyouts all favor the coaches. Back in the day I remember Tulane buying out Bennie Ellender’s just signed 10 year contract. At least we hired a winner in Larry Smith. Of course we all remember more recently Mike Dunleavy in MBB.

Last year, 21 head coaches were either fired or resigned because of performance issues. And schools shelled out more than $63.2 million to end their tenures.

As the 2022-23 football season begins, public universities are on the hook this year for more than a $1 billion in severance payments if all of their coaches let go, according to an InvestigateTV analysis of more than 100 head football coaches’ contracts.

Remember most of the money for those salaries comes from donors so it's the donors paying not the school.
