I saw somewhere it's prorated so he gets $750k.
I've wondered myself what the deal would be if Pry comes on staff in some capacity what would happen to his buyout money?
You get no money for nil. Nil=0 by definition.
Fair.
I don't want to play anymore......I got the sad.
But I'll throw darts at the picks anyway cause I'm not a quitter.
My problem with Pry is simple. Guy's bread and butter was as an LB coach.
And during his tenure, the LBs were arguably the worst position group year over year.
I wouldn't have a problem as an analyst but I would not feel good about having him back as DC.
The recruiting upside could be large in the Commonwealth:
"Im so invested in VT, that I'd take that hit and STILL come out and sell it....."
I wonder if that has happened before?

# | James Franklin Contract Released 5 Yrs, $41.75M. $9.5M pool for assistants, $6M pool for support staff Should we be concerned that his buyout is as low as it is?
I mean the $9m up front that Franklin got from PSU is probably $3m/year offset from 2026-2028 or something
that's great right now but we won't enter next season 4th, but hopefully top 10
They're not going to share this publicly.
I definitely skimmed past that. Thanks
I dunno if we'll ever hurt them in the wallet, so it's best we hurt them on the trail.
So, unless my math is wrong, over the next three years, we're getting Franklin for less than we would have paid Pry.
We're paying him more to recruit and schmooze for the next month than we are to coach AND recruit (on average) for the next three.
Guessing the step-down salary is paralleled by a step up in Penn State money so they aren't on the hook all at once. Kinda hate that. Was hoping terms would hurt them more.
