Minnesota off hook for buyout of ex-men's basketball coach Richard Pitino

Minnesota does not owe a buyout payment to former men's basketball coach Richard Pitino for his dismissal, according to the separation agreement provided Wednesday by the university.

Pitino was fired March 15. He was hired at New Mexico the next day.

In the contract extension Pitino signed in 2019, he had a $1.75 million buyout for a dismissal prior to April 30, 2021, but payment was to cease once he found comparable employment. There was also a $500,000 early-termination clause that Pitino would have been on the hook for if he preemptively departed for another job. Both of those fees were waived in the separation agreement. Pitino will be paid $125,000 for team academic performance bonuses.

Minnesota basketball forward Parker Fox to miss 2022-23 season with injury

Minnesota basketball forward Parker Fox will miss the 2022-23 season after suffering a severe right knee injury, the school announced. Fox incurred the knee injury during Monday’s practice session. This comes after the former Northern State transfer missed the entire 2021-22 season with a left knee injury.

"We're obviously disappointed for Parker, especially for how hard he worked to get back on the court this year," head coach Ben Johnson said in the release. "We're here to support him in any way we can as he moves forward in this recovery process."
