That's irrelevant to this conversation. If YSU was paying him in gray sweatshirts, then NU would have an argument.

We would still have to pay him no matter what minus OSU pay. If MR decides not to do squat we pay.
Not no matter what. That's the issue right now
if he did nothing Also would be a violation of the buyout the language specifies he must seek comparable employment within a reasonable period of time
Are you suggesting unlimited gray sweatshirts aren't in the contract? Link please.
Ok lets go at this way, produce the contract and the clause that says he has to seek new employment anywhere, do you think we have a law dept that knows less than you?

I think it merits looking into by NU. The only way he should be earning so little, is if he is strictly a part-time work-at-home guy reviewing video or doing some recruiting...more like a lower level administrative job.
Already read it and there are many different things that could be going on here. Did he communicate with NU already when he got the assistant HC job? Did he try to get a HC job "within a reasonably brief period after termination" and couldn't find one? Was the contract amended since the one posted three years ago? Was there a separate negotiation done after his termination? etc...If NU feels he should be paid more by OSU then they will go to court and litigate it. Personally I moved on way back in September but it is entertaining to watch everyone get twisted up over him. NU fans are pure entertainment if nothing else.

Another good question, what are his duties as "assistant head coach"? Maybe $50K at a bottom feeder is market value for what his duties actually are.

It is very unlikely that NU pays anywhere even close to what the buyout says.
Termination / severance settlements are usually negotiated by the parties post-termination, even if there is an underlying employment contract. It was in my case - there were some extenuating and unusual circumstances on both sides, so our attorneys negotiated it out and everyone was reasonably unhappy, which means we probably struck a fair deal for all.

Oregon State would be stupid to waste one of their limited coaching positions on someone who doesn't do anything. If that's what they wanted, make him a consultant. If they want an assistant head coach, they should pay a reasonable and fair market rate for him.
It appears that Riley and OSU are trying to screw Nebraska, but maybe it will come out that we negotiated a deal to get rid of him.
