Oregon Ducks HC Dan Lanning's response to Michigan coach Kyle Whittingham and his comments about Oregon's ability to outbid on recruits.
"I know they’ve signed a couple of guys that we weren’t able to compete with what they decided to do, and maybe a lot of that money is tied up for them in another player. I don’t know."
Per the terms of his contract, Jason Beck is set to be owed up to $10.1 million dollars. That's nearly $7 million in salary and nearly $3.1 in retention bonuses. The contract is subject to off-set and mitigation. It's believed to be the biggest buyout for a college assistant.
Interesting wrinkle in Kyle Whittingham’s reported $24.75M buyout.
His contract reportedly requires him to seek immediate employment if fired.
Could Michigan negotiate a reduced payout, especially if Whittingham decides to retire?
That $24.75M might not be set in stone.
