Following negotiations between CMU and John Bonamego's representatives, the two parties settled on an $834,000 buyout.
Bonamego, who was terminated after the Chippewas went 1-11 in 2018, already received $400,000 on Dec. 1, 2018. He will also be given $300,000 on Feb. 1, 2019, and $134,000 on March 1, 2019. He was fired on Nov. 23.
He was forced to return his office keys, laptop, gas card, cell phone, mileage reports and other items on the Employee Separation Checklist to CMU by 5 p.m. on Nov. 25. Bonamego was allowed to use his lease car until 5 p.
