Alford Contract -- Interesting Buyout

[MiniMoeHawk]

If Steve Alford decides to leave the UCLA Bruins or is fired in coming years, a rare yet significant buyout penalty will accompany the move.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the new Bruins coach would owe the university $10.4 million if he departed the school before April 30, 2016, the same amount the school would owe Alford if he was terminated without cause before that time.
Each successive year, the buyout would be reduced for the respective parties by $2.6 million -- his annual salary -- through 2019.

Looks like UCLA is stuck with him for a few years.....

This is a UCLA problem...the only thing about Alford I care about is will his hair end up like Pat Riley's or Randy Pfund's at the end of their time in LA...good riddance to the gellyman.

I saw this yesterday. All it does is guarantee that he will be in Westwood for 4 years. Nobody, not even UCLA is going to buy out a contract if it means ponying up $6mil.

Just my 2¢ .. ..

GO HAWKS!!!
