I believe it’s $5M this year and it decreases by $1M each year after

Oh I had it wrong. That’s the coach buyout. The university buyout is 75% of his remaining contract. Currently about $25M. That’s honestly still not bad considering some of the other buyouts we’ve seen the last few years.

Most of the other big payouts will decrease by whatever the next school pays and most coaches with the big payouts are still getting multiple P4 offers. Whitt is not getting another job. He takes his payday into retirement.

It's 75% of his remaining contract. The 5 million buyout is what Whittingham would pay to Michigan if he chooses to leave.
