Message: [QUOTE="Archbold44, post: 5642016, member: 10528"] Coaches have their own buyouts negotiated for if they want to leave on their own. Sometimes it is $1M, sometimes it is $5M. The schools typically get paid when a coach breaches. Never approaches the number that the coaches get if they get fired though. No reason why players cannot have a buyout equal to their NIL deal. If we have a player under contract(s) for $2M, no reason that buyout cannot be $2M. The taking school can just pay it ($2M, plus the value of the new deal, presumably at least $2M). Then, the players are just like coaches. They can buy themselves out of contracts. Makes a lot more sense than trying to force kids to stay. One cannot control the timing though. To the extent that the portal is not an enforceable window, the contract can be bought out at any time. [/QUOTE]
