On page 9 of Martin’s employment contract it states the university “shall not have the right to terminate this contract for employment without cause before April 30, 2020.” Losing too many games does not constitute “cause” in this case. That protection extends to April 30, 2021 if Martin wins at least 20 games or gets an NCAA tournament berth in any of his first three seasons (Which he did this year).
As long as Sterk is his boss, Martin’s contract says he couldn’t quit Missouri for another job before April 2021 without owing the university less than $3 million.
