Hubert Davis’ Buyout
If the Tar Heels decided to fire Davis at the end of any season within his contract without having cause, they would owe him the base salary for the remaining years ($400,000 per year). Since the majority of Davis’ contract is labeled as supplemental, this is advantageous to North Carolina, should the school decide to move on.
If a team wanted to hire Davis, they could offer to pay that buyout as well and to bring him to the program.
