If I am James Franklin and I wanted to be a real motherfucker, I would sign on to coach at the next university for minimum wage due to the offset language in the Penn State contract. Then I would go to my new school and say "Use my coaching salary as an NIL warchest". You would turn some shit around super quickly and hamstring Penn State in the process. 

Not sure if Franklin's contract explicitly carved it out, but with duty to mitigate there's typically a reasonableness standard.  He could go a couple million below market and it probably wouldn't be worth PSUs time to litigate, but something like what you describe would be a slam dunk.

Yup, these contracts always include that language, except for desparate aggy contracts. It goes to the question "why settle"? Both sides want a clean break without the need to calculate or litigate whether a coach complied with these relatively vague standards i.e. "diligence" "appropriate" "good faith" and "reasonable salary." It's a situation where both sides know at the time the contract is entered into that it is vague and expectations are to negotiate a settlement if required.

Man what a disaster at Wisconsin , I genuinely feel bad for them having no ties to the team. I don't think anyone saw the Fickell tenure going this way 

The Saban tree is far superior to the Meyer tree imho.

Bingo and I think Franklin would be a really good hire for VaTech if they used this approach.

What do they look like if you exclude retreads?

WOW. Wisconsin has officially given up.

 

How has Wiscky "given up" if they're gonna make 'a significant increase in financial commitment'?

Are we assuming Luke Fickell has forgotten how to coach?
