Has MU put out anything regarding a press conference or coaching announcement etc?
Retire Terry Rand's jersey!

Via Twitter, I asked Ben Steele about introductory press conference timing and he said, "Sounds like Monday."

So we won't know until Monday that the hire is real.

It is real.

So we paid (know idea if this is all true) 9 million for Wojo to leave and a 7 million buyout to UT plus a 3 million contract salary to hire Smart that is 19 million in total that MU shelled out for a new coach.

Hope its worth it.

Don't think they had to pay the buyout.

There's no way we paid the full 7 million dollar buyout.

No inside information but Marquette didn't pay a dime to Texas to hire Shaka. Only money spent is contract plus Wojo.

Again no insider here but it's a fact Wojo had 3 years left and if he was getting 3 million a year that's 9 million but I wouldn't go out and think it was 9 million outright. Typical buyouts are dependent on money earned in next job and usually a percentage of total money remaining. Wouldn't be shocked to hear that number is closer to 6 on the high end.

Yeah, the buyout is often something less than the contractual salary. Makes sense because it is money paid for doing nothing and very often the coach can collect that buyout money and get paid in a new job.
Never wrestle with a pig.  You both get dirty, and the pig likes it.

MU did not pay the buyout, a very rich alumni did

At least it's basically confirmed now.
