Villanova Game Back On

[MU82]

I expect today to the middle of a 7-game losing skid. I think we're done and the only question is if Wojo leaves this season or Marquette renegotiates to lower his buyout and he goes after next year.

In the lower-buyout realm, are you thinking that it would be part of a short (1 or 2 year) contract extension deal?

[MU82]

Admittedly I was basing that off the people who were talking about his post game pressers which I've stopped watching. He may not be.

Thanks. Appreciate your honesty.

I don't know that he isn't "defeated." I just haven't seen the signs, and was looking for a little evidence with what's a pretty loaded word.

1-2 year extension with a total of 5 years on the deal so he can promise incoming freshmen he will be there their entire careers, similar to the one they renegotiated after 2019.

Honestly, I think it should have a buyout that escalates the longer he stays. For instance...

• Fired after Year One: $100,000/year With one year gone on the deal, Wojo would pocket $400,000 for the remaining 4 years.
  
• Fired after Year Two: $250,000/year With two years gone on the deal, Wojo would pocket $750,000 for the remaining 3 years.
  
• Fired after Year Three: $500,000/year With three years gone on the deal, Wojo would pocket $1,000,000 for the remaining 2 years.
  
• Fired after Year Four: $1,500,000/year With four years gone on the deal, Wojo would pocket $1,500,000 for the final year.

This would be a motivator because the longer he can stay, the more he is guaranteed if it goes south. And if the results keep getting better, it would encourage Marquette to keep him, but would allow them to really put the pressure on early, especially in the first couple years. Maybe the figures would have to be different or bigger, but I think something with that structure would be smart.

Interesting. It that a fairly common kind of buyout?

I mean, nobody seems to have even the faintest idea of what his current buyout is.

Let's say for $hits & giggles that we sweep Butler (hah) and beat Depaul (big if now) thats 3 so we need two of Nova, UConn, Xavier, Hall, Creighton. December Marquette that played UConn great for 30 of 40 min or lost at the buzzer to X could do it. I don't see it happening now. I don't see it Brew not the way we are currently playing with a defeated coach and 5-7min of good basketball in our blood.

The closer we get to March, the crappier we play.  Did you take that into account, as well?
