WOW. Leave after 1 year with a buyout of 600,000$. West VA. might be a liitle different culture than the Midwest and a lot further away to her traditional recruiting territory.

If the school you’re going to is going to pay about 2/3 of that, or it gets negotiated down, it’s a lot easier to make that move. Over the life of the contract, she’s going to make $1.2 mil or more in salary. That also makes it easier for her if she has to pay $200k of that. I wouldn’t be surprised if Minny pays the entire $600k or whatever final buyout and she pays them back.
Even if we get KG to $300k a year, we won’t be able to compete financially if another school gives her $500k+ and a 5-6 year deal. However, the quality of P5 school could give pause if it’s a school that doesn’t fund anywhere close to its competition.
