Karcher* This Essay addresses the difficulty of proving the financial harm that results when a head coach departs a college or university during the contract term and the institution thereby abruptly loses a valuable asset-a successful and stable athletic program. Due to the unique and specialized nature of head coaches' services and the industry in which they work, ordinary measures for assessing damages based on substitute perjbrmance and transaction costs are insufficient. This Essay offers a theory of measuring a university's damages within the construct of a lost-income-producing-asset valuation, using a methodology based on liquidateddamages amounts in comparable coaches' contracts.

    Students Aware over Groce’s Potential Departure By Matt Digby With Ohio men’s basketball coach John Groce possibly on the verge of taking over at Illinois, students feel uneasy about if he were to leave. “I’d love for him to stay, because we have the potential to be a much better program than we already are,” says junior Zac Tuttle. “But it’s whatever’s in his best interests, and if he has the opportunity to move up, good for him.” Groce is now in his fourth year with the Bobcats, after serving as an assistant coach from 1993-2008. He was a part of Thad Matta’s staffs at Butler, Xavier, and Ohio State. Groce is 85-56 in his tenure with Ohio, leading the Bobcats to two NCAA Tournament appearances in the last three years, with a 3-2 record in the tournament. “I think he’s done a really good job here,” says senior Morgan Otte. “Making the NCAA Tournament twice now is definitely a big deal.” All of Ohio’s star players from this season will be back for at least more year in Athens, and junior Marika Bresler says if Groce stays too, the team can make another inspiring run in the postseason. “I feel that you need to have good team bonding not just among players, but with the coach as well…it would be a really good opportunity for neXt year’s seniors to make a deep run in the tournament again,” Bresler says. Social media sites Facebook and Twitter have been eXtremely active over the past week, with a lot of posts from students related to Groce’s situation.
