I mean, when he renegotiates his contract there won't a $6 million buyout anymore. I'm assuming the new buyout will be manageable. So yes, we should buy him out.

How much room does Underwood have to renegotiate when they already have him on the hook for a $6 million buyout?

Also worth noting that they are paying him well below his value. I think his off-season has the potential to be as crazy as oscar's, but right now there isn't an open job appreciably better than OSU. They are losing Evans, Forte, and Hammons but returning Carroll, Averette, and Solomon.

People that want to be KSU Cats coaches put escape clauses in their contracts like Leavitt, not $6 million buyouts.

Bro, that's Oklahoma State protecting themselves. You think he's going to say no to that clause when he was pretty vocal about really wanting that job? I am interested to see what that buy out is going to look like when they renegotiate his contract after OSU gets eliminated. Remember, that buy out is for conference schools only. He's the lowest paid coach in the Big 12, his agent's phone will ring, if it hasn't already.

I didn't realize that was just for B12 programs.  Glad he has some negotiating power.

That buyout was put in place for us. OSU knew oscar's situation too.

I don't believe it. $8.5 Mil is a lot of money. That sounds like mostly talk to me.

Throwing that kind of money out to get Brad just feels like paying a premium for a K-State alum.  While I would much rather have Brad than oscar and the donors can spend their money how they like, I don't think it's the best use of the money.

Offering K-State money to buy out Brad when they could have just picked him up for free last year is just stupid.

I agree. Like that could be three or four years of Fred Hoiberg salary.

having made a mistake last year is not a good reason not fix that mistake now.  and maybe the osu a.d. will finally just retire.

It is though. K-State Athletics doesn't have an owner pumping money in, that money comes from the ticket holders and donors.

Trust me, what the donors are looking at/have seen is a TREMENDOUS amount of ($$) loss of both season ticket holders and alums buying single game tickets. Students are not a revenue source - they're mostly just noise and atmosphere. And that mostly has been happening steadily as Oscar has turned the vise but took a serious nosedive after the Brad Debacle. They are afraid of it happening again with greater "trajectory" next year if Oscar returns to the area outside the coaching box.

To see that not occur, they will pay.

For a while seems like pushing it. A new AD is going to want to hire his own guy, right?
