We paid Chizik after up and left?

According to this article, ISU was still paying Chizik after up and left Ames for Auburn. Is this right, I didn't think it was.

Gene Chizik gone, but not forgotten by Auburn’s payroll department - The Washington Post

That's correct, but I don't know if we paid him in monthly installments (like it sounds as if Auburn plans on doing) or in one big lump sum when he bailed.

They could have stopped after the first half sentence of that article

That's ****ed up. He ditched us and got paid WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only "Chizik" I know of died 4 years ago.

That's messed up; I realize it is guaranteed, but how did Jamie not have an exemption for taking another job ?#?@?? How is Iowa State suppose to be on the hook for that ?

The world of college coaching contracts is so out of whack.

I thought that Auburn bought out Chizik's contract. Maybe it is some kind of arangement where Auburn pays ISU and then ISU pay Chizik?

I'm hoping it has to be something like this; can't see Jamie authorizing a contract where ISU is on the hook even if a coach elects to take another job.

Please read Section VI of the Agreement, Termination by Coach

Auburn paid us and we did not pay Gene anything.

Jamie Pollard is not stupid!

**Stormin** · 11-26-2012, 07:19 PM

Chizik resigned his position which made the contract Null and Void. He took another job at Auburn and Auburn ended up paying ISU $750k to get us to release him from his contract.

He is the guy who gave Chizik a contract extension after 5 wins in 2 years...

Right. Wasn't the money from Auburn the money that we used to pay assistants like Herman and Burnham?

Or, (slipping on MontyBurns hat):
Just one more time where the rest of the world, even Gene Chizik, pulled the wool over Jamie Pollard's eyes. Pollard needs to understand that this is business, and get past his starstruck fanboy thing in negotiations before he bankrupts ISU.

Also, football pants are awesome. (slipping off MontyBurns hat)

This is not true, all state paid employees are public record and Chizik is no where on the new list.....

That must have felt good slipping off the MontyBurns hat. But it is sometimes nice escaping sanity for a moment or two.
