Think I heard on the radio they were gonna he to fire him without cause which meant he would be owed his full contract amount.
That makes no sense. Of course I don't think anyone has ever accused the MD athletic department of having any sense.

That's kind of a weak argument. Especially when it comes to money. It fails to mention that donors could help with the relatively small buyout and one of those donors is the extremely rich Under Armour guy. The morale in that locker room and the fan support has to be horrible right now. It wouldn't surprise me if they lost their remaining games.
Why did you ever pay any attention to anything from Maryland?
In fiscal terms, it is the least competent athletics department among Major colleges over the past 30 years.
Even if they fired him without cause he would have only been owed a little over $5 million. That's actually cheaper than keeping him, because the terms are 65% of his base pay. Assuming they keep him through the end of his current contract they will pay him almost $8 million. There was really no logical reason to keep him.
