Yea, that's always been confusing to me too because of how much the coaches make off camps and other sources not just the state and boosters. It'd be really tough to get a gauge on how much each one makes.
If I'm KY I recognize that the buyout is going away July 1 and Cohen is going to be gone. No point in keeping a lame duck a few more weeks so I'd let him go without the buyout rather than letting him itch for 3 weeks.
heard there was a handshake type of agreement between Cohen and Barnhart, something along the lines of : not cherry picking assistants and calling recruits to follow him to Vegas....and there would be no buyout (or it would be greatly reduced)....
