Yeah - I'm not as worried about Indiana as I was at 3:00 today. But they've got 2 weeks to get ready for Ohio State. This may have been Indiana's "wake-up call".
Maybe.

Truth be told, I just think they're not all that.

Obviously Cignetti is a great coach and has done amazing this year. They're definitely a good team, but they're a bunch of experienced fcs/sun belt athletes who played a favorable schedule and caught people off-guard.

They have some players from Power 5 programs in there as well. I think one or two are from Clemson.

He got an 8 year $64 million extension BEFORE his team plays Ohio State.


Buyout and termination language​

If Cignetti chooses to resign or if his employment is terminated for cause, Indiana University is not liable for compensation or benefits thereafter.

If the university terminates Cignetti’s employment without cause, it would pay him a buyout as follows:
  • Between Dec. 1, 2023 – Nov. 30, 2024: $20 million
  • Between Dec. 1, 2024 – Nov. 30, 2025: $17 million
  • Between Dec. 1, 2025 – Nov. 30, 2026: $14 million
  • Between Dec. 1, 2026 – Nov. 30, 2027: $9 million
  • Between Dec. 1, 2027 – Nov. 30, 2028: $6 million
  • Between Dec. 1, 2028 – Nov. 30, 2029: $3 million
If Cignetti resigns prior to the end of his contract — say, for instance, if he is hired by another school –– he would pay the university the following as liquidated damages:
  • Between Dec. 1, 2023 – Nov. 30, 2024: $8 million
  • Between Dec. 1, 2024 – Nov. 30, 2025: $6 million
  • Between Dec. 1, 2025 – Nov. 30, 2026: $4 million
  • Between Dec. 1, 2026 – Nov. 30, 2027: $2 million
  • Between Dec. 1, 2027 – Nov. 30, 2028: $1 million
  • Between Dec. 1, 2028 – Nov. 30, 2029: $1 million
Cignetti's contract states that Indiana will take reasonable steps to satisfy his existing financial obligation (buyout) to James Madison in a manner that is tax neutral to him. If Cignetti leaves Indiana, it is likely that the new school that hires him would do the same.

Just sayin': You can see the link for his incentives and/or bonuses.
