If Texas fires Shaka Smart after this season, the buyout is $13.8 million.

Big hit

Same with Danny Manning who has a $18M (!!) buyout at Wake Forest thanks to a fully guaranteed deal through 2025 with his contract extension last year.

That's quite a payout for a guy who's more interested in NASCAR than basketball.

EDIT: My mistake. That was Brad Daugherty. Maybe they should swap jobs? Couldn't hurt.

That's no problem for Texas. They loose that much money in the couch cushions.

Even for Texas, which has a lot of other financial commitments at the moment, it's a lot of money.

I was hoping though.
