Naturally, the cries for the UC system's highest paid employee's head have increased on the BI. Could someone familiar with contract law explain how much the UC would be on the hook for if they fired the UC system's highest paid employee? Would it be for the salary or the salary + talent fee? Does not having to pay various bonuses mitigate the cost? Does the money from the new TV contract make this a moot point?

Here's a link to the contract:

The contract above goes through 2013, but in December 2009, he signed an extension of that contract through 2015.
