Wow. That's actually pretty impressive NGL!

 

[cycloneworld]

It is a big commitment from ISU - puts TJ into the Top 20 nationally.

Outside of Young, it seems about right for TJ within the Big 12.

Seems like a good deal for both sides.

What does his extension run through again? And do we know the buyout?

(Article is firewalled. Sorry Muscatine!)

4 million. 2 million if Jamie is not the AD.

 

[Drew0311]

I keep hearing the buyout is 4 million and it was reduced. Is this a fact or just internet rumor?

 

[RezClone]

4 million. 2 million if Jamie is not the AD.

Ugh. Seems low.

 

[Cyman42]

Ugh. Seems low.

Reduces liability for the employer also.

 

[Cyclonepride]

He has earned it. Glad to see that we are taking care of him appropriately

 

[JP4CY]

Seems very win-win for ISU and TJ. He has earned it and we should pay it.

Runs through June 30, 2032

My trick is to click read the article and immediately upon the new tab opens (before article appears), right click and select print. It takes a couple of seconds but the article USUALLY appears ready to print, then you just read and scroll down in the print ready window.

 

[Cyhig]

Ugh. Seems low.

The buyout could be $1; it won't matter since he won't leave

 

[Jakester]

Did this just happen?

 

[jsb]

Did this just happen?

It was announced in December.

Iowa State basketball: T.J. Otzelberger's new contract includes salary raise, lower buyout

The details behind Iowa State men's basketball coach T.J. Otzelberger's recent contract extension have been released.

[VeloClone]

I read buyout is a steady $4m, but drops to $2m if Pollard is gone.

 

[isufbcurt]

Ugh. Seems low.

It's probably low because TJ and Jamie both know he isn't interested in going anywhere and they have discussed that.

Seems like fair market value. I don't thinkbthere is much of a case to be paid higher than those above him, and a good case to be above those below. Nice work by all.

Now I just hope we are giving enough budget to keep and attract the right assistants. I think a couple assistants have been key parts of his success. Need to keep it going.

Just like how our football program has done well attracting assistants, our basketball program does and will. TJ has made great relationships and connections and I know there are many interested in spots should they open up.

TJ deserves a base $4M now, no doubt. Kinda surprised no guaranteed provisions to NIL/player pool like so many other contracts lately.

But once JP (likely) rides off into the sunset after the dust settles on his last legacy being CyTown, then all it will take is any other school's donor fishing in their pocket for a spare $2M (when it took $18M buyout just a year ago)??
