UCLA's deal with Coach Steve Alford has unusually huge buyout clause

Posted Jul 8, 2013
UCLA fans better get used to the sight of Steve Alford. Win or lose, he's going to be around for quite some time. That's because UCLA's new head basketball coach is bound to the program — and it to him — by a $10.4-million buyout clause worth four times his annual pay. That stricture, unusually large by college coaching standards, is one of several eye-catching terms in Alford's contract. (Los Angeles Times)
