When Darian DeVries transitioned from West Virginia University to become the head men's basketball coach at Indiana University, the contractual buyout agreement required Indiana to pay West Virginia approximately 6.15 million dollars to release him from his previous commitments. Furthermore, within his lucrative contract with the Hoosiers, his own departure buyout starts at 10 million dollars if he were to leave early in the agreement, stepping down incrementally in subsequent seasons to protect the university's long-term coaching stability.
