What leverage does Cronin have to renegotiate? UCLA would say “okay, go find another job then”

Lol that is exactly what Cronin would want UCLA to say. I think Cronin absolutely has grounds to renegotiate his buyout given what has transpired at UCLA since signing his extension.

He's owed $16 million if fired before 4/1 but owes $16 million if he leaves before 4/1.

Do you think after his leaked audio tape at LSU that IU would consider him? 

Probably not but that's IU's problem not mine.

Stop. No one is getting attacked.  We are so soft

Go back and read what people said about bgleas and others. And also look at what people say about Chris007.  Go back and read about trolls etc.

Why is that what Cronin would want UCLA to say?

It's a huge bargaining chip. Cronin can absolutely say "I didn't sign up for this" when I signed my contract 3 years ago. 

That isn’t really how contracts work. There is either a material breach of a contract term, in which case the contract is voided, or there isn’t. You don’t just say that you don’t like a contract term and try to use it to modify another portion of the contract.

Location location location.

Just spit balling here, but what if IU hires an old coach that has made multiple S16's?

Because they would owe him $16mil if they fired him and whatever school hired him wouldn't have to pay a dime.

Cronin is pretty much unfirable as he is unhirable right now.

I am not a lawyer but I’m pretty sure these contracts aren’t written/enforced in such a simple way that you can cry “loophole!!” since you’re in the B10 instead of the P12 and somehow materially change the agreement. Lol

Whole package.

Has won conference titles at 3 different schools in the last 10 years. 

He would murder it here.  Willing to look past his issues.  Like Sampson, it’s not even against the rules any longer

You're talking about a scenario in which Cronin quits and is in breach of the contract.

I’m not saying they would fire him, but Cronin doesn’t have any leverage to get more money or change the terms with UCLA. His options are either honor the current contract or find a new job.

That is correct. Now if UCLA didn’t pay him the agreed Pac12 bonus for winning a Big10 championship, he would absolutely have a justiciable claim.

[realTomCrean]

Blind resume. Experience, won in major conferences, multiple S16's. Seems like a formidable candidate
