Tom Allen is the official Head Coach?IUFB will be just fine. This is exciting. Still excited for the future of this program and don't expect us to lose much from this.

Why are we buying him out if he resigned?

I'm sure it has to do with all the fine print in his contract and to agree to the buyout makes it quick and clean and any dirty laundry doesn't have to get aired in a later legal battle over what he may or may not be entitled to.

 

And then I just saw this from Osterman:

Under contract terms, if fired without cause, Wilson would be owed $542k/yr for next five. Mitigation would wipe it off if he got new job.

So to be clear, IU is going to keep Wilson on the books in base salary for a year. No new job would change that.

It was agreed upon by Glass and Wilson.

Not a buy-out. It's equivalent to one year of salary paid out if he was active payroll. Amount does not get offset if he gets a job elsewhere.

Damn straight they're happy. This may very well be a watershed great day for Indiana football.

Kevin Wilson is forfeiting four years’ salary by resigning. That lets you know this went well beyond “philosophical differences”

[colonel06]

Allen was important. Removes uncertainty allows us to capitalize on the chaos in south bend and keeps any new hire at Purdue from having an easy time poaching our talent. 

Great point (s)!
