Just terrible. No hate on Fran, get paid dude. But whomever signed off on this contract from the school’s side should be termed.

I’ll give you 50 guesses who that was and you’re first 49 don’t count.

SMDH....

 

[HuckFinn]

I may well be in the minority, but I have never in my long lifetime spent any energy on how much $$ someone else makes. Just do not care.

Izzo.

I'm not anywhere near the "Fire Fran" crowd but $400K just for reaching the NCAA tournament is a tad excessive. I could see if he won the Big Ten or something but just for REACHING the tournament at this stage of his contract?

Has anyone else noticed that these forums can get pretty negative sometimes? I'm beginning to think most posters are off their antidepressants and just vent.

Yet you keep coming back.

It’s like a bad car accident...you can’t help but slow down and look for bodies as much as you tell yourself you don’t want to see any.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

NOW THAT’S FUCKING GOLD RIGHT THERE RICKY BOBBY!

Huge raise, nice bonus, nine years at Iowa with zero Big 10 regular season titles, zero Big 10 tournament titles & zero Sweet 16 appearances. But, according to Fran, just take a long hard look at his body of work.

I’m sure it made Fran happy and Barta figured he would never have to actually pay it. jk

That's just crazy. It would be like giving a football coach a bonus for getting 7 wins, and, that would be completely asinine and moronic... Wait, never mind.

 

[Stanzi]

There should be a clause that if our defense isn't at least top 100 he loses money.

Can anyone give me the name of a worse athletic director? I can't think of one.

"Tremendous Season" already, according to Fran, without the bid. Perhaps donate the entire amount for free anger management classes for those in need.

 

[smitharooney]

What’s he get for a sweet 16 appearance? 1.5 million?

How would you know? How would anyone know?

Adjusted buyout clause, upward, with the actual numbers not shared with anyone.
