Dear god, we not only extend him, but made the buyout much higher. From the article:
If fired without cause, UCLA would have to pay Cronin ...
Before April 1, 2026: $22.5 million
Before April 1, 2027: $18 million
Before April 1, 2028: $13.5 million
Before April 1, 2029: $9 million
Before April 1, 2030: $4.5 million
If Cronin takes another job, here are his updated buyout terms ...
Before April 1, 2026: $15 million
Before April 1, 2027: $12 million
Before April 1, 2028: $8 million
Before April 1, 2029: $6 million
Before April 1, 2030: $4 million
Looking at our schedule (all the ranked teams coming to pauley will have been in LA while we're playing across country and flying back 2+ timezones) and how we're playing, it's very possible we miss the tourney this year. Will need to see if we can do better with Clark back tho.
