For cause never seems to stick. I legit can't remember one time.

The best comp to this situation is probably Bobby Petrino: he didn't get his $18mm for not disclosing an affair in 2012.
"Petrino was terminated "with cause," denying him the $18 million buyout included in his contract."




In basketball there's a handful who got fired for cause (but more so due to NCAA violations):

1. Sampson at IU got paid $750k
2. Bruce Pearl at Tenn. got paid $1mm
3. Pitino at Louisville got paid $0
4. Ollie at UCONN got paid $11mm (had a CBA though)
