I love the buyout differences, I think that speaks volumes. Jacobson is gosh dang locked in, 5 million for a school to gain the ability to sign him to an (assumedly) $2,000,000 contract. Muller, on the other hand, his buyout essentially boils down to a midsize sedan. And that cute little detail about the home-and-home. It straddles the line between a deterrent and an incentive for other teams to take him, that's just one less game you need to schedule. Again, Jacobson's buyout is 20x more than Muller's on discount. It's amazing.
Personally, I think that the buyout price tells me that they don't really care about him being there long term. And since it's so easy for him to peace out, I foresee him being gone within the next four years or so.
I want a competitive MVC, but apparently there are only two or three schools that agree.
What a moronic conclusion from an otherwise solid statement of facts he laid out.
Jacobson's contract was given after a 30 win season which saw the NCAA tournament. His accolades listed happened prior to his contract he received...
Muller's contract was given after a 20 win season which saw an NIT invite.
To conclude that only two or three schools want a competitive MVC based on a salary and buyout that's different as the coaches have reached different levels to this point is asinine. But, typical from this fan base.
Muller's recruiting at a different level than even HE has done in the past. He's landed a few absolute studs here, and we'll see what happens moving forward. But freaking out over a buyout and comparing coaches who have different accomplishments to this point? An exercise in stupidity.
