Thats right, we pay over two times what Bammer pays Saban.
Donkey
Don't get mad at me but that is not accurate.
Twice? The cash flow in 2018 for Mac/Mus buyouts plus Mullen salary is NOT twice what Bama pays Saban in 2018. Muschamp's buyout was over in 2017.
Bama paid more in 2017.
In 2017 Bama paid Saban:
"Alabama football coach Nick Saban will be paid $11.125 million this season under a three-year contract extension that includes a $4 million signing bonus"
UF with its up front lump sum payment to Mac to reduce his buyout pays 4.5 million to Mac in 2018 plus 6 million to Mullen. That is not twice Saban. UF paid more in 2018 but not twice as Muschamp's contract was through 2017( the year Bama paid more).
Yes UF bit the bullet and paid a 3.5 million payment on Mac's buyout in 2018 plus 1 million on July 1 2018. . But by biting the bullet in 2018 we dramatically underpaid the 12 million total Mac buyout. Texas A&M recently paid much more than Saban including buyouts but not UF.
In 2019 UF pays less than Saban not twice. Muschamp's contract was through 2017 and there are much smaller Mac buyout payments in 2019.
We pay Mac 1 million in 2019 plus 6 million for Mullen. Less than Saban will be paid. Not twice as much.
Mac future buyouts:
July 1, 2019 — $1 million.
July 1, 2020 — $1 million.
July 1, 2021 — $500,000.
