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 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.

Sources: Minnesota to hire Niko Medved as men's hoops coach
Minnesota is expected to hire Colorado State's Niko Medved as its next head coach, sources told ESPN.
Medved's season ended on Sunday night, as Colorado State lost at the buzzer to 4-seed Maryland in the second round of the NCAA tournament, 72-71. The Rams had won 11 straight games, including a Mountain West conference tournament championship and a first-round win over 5-seed Memphis in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
This will mark a return home for Medved, a Minneapolis native who attended the University of Minnesota and spent a year with the Gophers as an assistant coach in 2006-07.
Medved has led Colorado State to the NCAA tournament in three of the last four seasons, winning a game in each of the last two. They went 25-6 in 2021-22, earning a 6-seed in the NCAA tournament but losing to Michigan in the first round.
Last season, Colorado State earned a First Four berth, where it blew out Virginia, 67-42, before losing to Texas.
In seven seasons with the Rams, Medved went 143-85.
