Especially when the relationship crash and burns so quickly.
So, maybe Pitt is trying not to pay the full $9.4 million buyout to Kevin Stallings as previously reported.
In a meeting Thursday in which Stallings was terminated, 93.7 The Fan has learned the Pitt administration offered two paths for Stallings’ impending departure. He could:
- Accept a reduced buyout of $4.8M, which works out to about half the sum of the buyout language in his contract.
OR
- Not accept the $4.8M reduced buyout offer and be met with a “for cause” termination for his actions at Louisville, thus forfeiting the totality of his buyout.
Multiple sources confirmed to 93.7 The Fan that Stallings was unwilling to accept either condition — and a previously reported $7.5M reduced buyout was never formally offered at the meeting to him — so his exact conditions in terms of separation from the University of Pittsburgh remain in flux.
I don’t know.
