coachacola Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 Interesting....[quote]The contract lets Lamar back out of the deal at no cost if the school is reclassified to the Football Bowl Subdivision before June 1, 2013. The buyout otherwise is $500,000.Lamar is currently classified as a Football Championship Subdivision school and a member of the Southland Conference.Lamar coach Ray Woodard said he does not know of plans for the school to change conference affiliation.[/quote]Why even include that in the contract if Lamar had no plans to join the WAC or Sun Belt in the near future?

In this case, the stipulation is that if they change classification (FCS to FBS), that there is an increase. It's not surprising...
