***Big 10 Thread***

I assume my donation dollars were included in that somehow or another. If you fire Fran next year it'll be double what Rhoads' was. Yikes!

So when Pollard extended Rhoads 10 years, his buyout was $750K per remaining year left on his deal. That means when the contract was inked it was a $7.5M buyout for a coach who at that time had won 47% of his games at ISU.

That is a worse deal than Fran's and you called Pollard a football genius.

Look at when Rhoads got his extension and when Fran got his. People were wanting Fran fired a month after he signed his extension with a 10.2 million dollar buyout!

Are you defending the buyout Rhoads got?
 
Rhoads got a contract extension in 2011 and was fired in 2015. Trying to compare that to Barta who gave Fran a contract extension with a ridiculous buyout in 2017 and fans wanted him fire weeks later makes you look dumb

Some ISU fans wanted Rhoads canned much sooner than 2015.

I cant believe you are actually defending the Rhoads extension and buyout. You are such a homer.

I don't remember Rhoads extension or buyout being a big deal at all honestly. 4.5 million for a football coach compared to 10.2 million for a basketball coach? Again this makes you look dumb. Ferentz's buyout is 22.5 million and you're criticizing 4.5 million lol

Rhoads buyout was $7.5M when he signed the extension, not $4.5M.

Fran isnt getting fired this year so to use his buyout now and compare it to the buyout left when Rhoads was fired is stupid.

And I would be fine with a $50M buyout for KF because it wont come into play...ever.

50MM is what they are giving baby ferentz when he takes over in a couple. Right before Barta steps down and bumps mad Fran back up again.

OK two things we agree on:

1. Football buyouts are generally way more than basketball buyouts
2. Fran will be fired next year if he doesn't make the tournament

While agreeing on those things you are comparing a 4.5 million dollar FOOTBALL buyout to a 9 million BASKETBALL buyout. You look dumb

I never said that. I said I would want him fired.

If Fran doesn't make the tourney next year he's not going to get fired? Please tell me that's true. 2 NCAA appearances in a decade and 3 straight misses doesn't get you fired at the U of I? Lol!
 
I would want him fired.

I have no idea what the AD would do so not sure how you want me to answer that.

He'd be fired if they don't make the tourney next year so you'd be paying a basketball coach a $9 million buyout. I'm going out on a limb and say that'd be the highest buyout ever paid out to a basketball coach

It's apparent that your AD would pay extra money for a terrible product on the court. That's what I gathered from information available to me, anyway.

He'd pay even more money to make that product go away... If you're lucky.
 
If Barta cans Fran next year, it like playing poker and having absolutely nothing, having people fold and throw their cards in face up and you see anything that could possible help you they had and you still raise your bet.
