## Resource

Brian Kelly’s $54 million buyout from LSU comes with a twist: he must actively seek another football job to offset his pay. If he lands a coaching gig, his new salary reduces what LSU owes him — but he can decline smaller offers without penalty. Already, he’s started the process by joining CBS Sports as an analyst. Unlike James Franklin’s negotiated $9 million settlement, Kelly’s deal is tied to ongoing income tracking, making his financial safety net both lucrative and conditional.
