Opelika-Auburn News editor Justin Lee believes that the timing of the Auburn football program’s release of the contract details from new head coach Hugh Freeze’s pact was intentional — done so that all eyes were on the baseball team’s NCAA Regional against Penn instead.
Auburn just sent Hugh Freeze's contract into public record, because they know everyone's attention is on the baseball regional instead.
The contract wasn't signed until March 23.
Freeze has upwards of $3 million available in performance bonus incentives.https://t.co/0sehBBg2js

Of note, up to $2 million in performance bonuses awaits Freeze should he guide Auburn football to a College Football Playoff National Championship over the life of his contract.
