  • Disability and Death Clauses in College Coaches' Contracts
    Disability and Death Clauses in College Coaches’ Contracts By Martin J. Greenberg I. INTRODUCTION There is little in the literature about two clauses that have an enormous impact on the economics of college coaches’ contracts. They are the death and disability clauses. If either were to occur, subject to the dictates of the contract, it could mean a termination of the contractual obligations of the university and an end to the coaches’ income stream. If the coach dies, the contract and the obligations of the university thereunder normally terminate. Disability on the other hand is more complicated. What is the definition of disability, who determines disability, and how long is one able to be disabled before the contract terminates? These issues are not only perplexing, but need to be expressly addressed in the coaches’ contracts. The case of Terry Hoeppner (“Hoeppner”) is illustrative of the issues. Hoeppner was hired on December 17, 2004 as the head football coach at Indiana University, after having coached at Miami University in Ohio for six seasons, compiling a 48–25 record and taking the team to two consecutive bowl games in 2003 and 2004. 1 Hoeppner was hired in 2004 to rebuild Indiana’s floundering football program.2 He immediately nicknamed the Hoosiers’ home field “The Rock” and then had a limestone boulder added to Memorial Stadium to reinforce the message. 3 In two years at Indiana, he was 9–14. 4 On December 27, 2005, Hoeppner underwent surgery to remove a tumor from his right temple. 5 On September 12, 2006, he announced he would undergo a second surgery the next day 1 Terry Hoeppner: Timeline , 13WTHR Indianapolis, http://www.wthr.com/story/6679762/terry-hoeppner-timeline (last visited Jan.
