Contract for University of Minnesota football coach Jerry Kill

For those interested in how University of Minnesota head football coach Jerry Kill stands contractually (and financially) in light of the ruckus over his epilepsy, the agreement is above.

U law professor Stephen Befort has told me that a buyout might be more of a disincentive than an ADA lawsuit for the U to get rid of Kill if it ever wanted to. (And that’s not to imply that it even does.)

Note the list of Kill’s duties under Section I (1.2, first page) — Which are essential? — and his buyout language under Section III (3.2, page 6).
