On pain of pocketbook, it appears UCLA and Steve Alford will likely be together until at least 2016.
According to a Los Angles Times report Monday night that specifically cited the buyout terms of the UCLA basketball coach’s seven-year, $18.2 million deal, the two parties are locked in identical buyout clauses that would require a payout of $10.4 million from the early-acting side should the contract be terminated prior to April 30, 2016, or three years into Alford’s tenure.
