Pitt athletic director Heather Lyke and head basketball coach Kevin Stallings are reportedly scheduled to meet on Thursday morning to discuss the coach’s employment status and a potential contract buyout, according to Craig Meyer of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Stallings’ buyout was previously reported to be around $10 million, but Meyer noted that it’s now “believed to be upwards of $9 million.” He also cited a source close to the program who said the second-year coach is looking to get the full amount promised to him in his contract in the event that he is fired without cause.
