Coaching Buyouts at X Going Forward

[jerry92]

Is there a way that X can structure the buyout for a coach that decides to leave X to include a clause that takes into consideration our record going forward? As example, if our record for the following two years after the coach departure is under .500, the buyout increases by 2 million - this would encourage the departing coach to have some regard for the program as he exits.

Seems like it would probably be legal but no coach would ever agree.

I am thinking that Louisville had to pay Xavier a high sum for buying Mack's contract. Maybe someone in the know could help there. Go Xavier!

No coach that has an agent, LOL.

It would
Ikely be an invalid contract because no sane coach would sign such a contract.
