UC Bearcats basketball fans would give anything for head football coach Luke Fickell to be in San Antonio on March 31 with up to 13 of his closest friends and family - because it would mean the school's first Final Four appearance in 26 years.
As USA TODAY Sports published its coaching salary database, Tom Schad and Steve Berkowitz examined nine of the oddest contract quirks for college football coaches - and Fickell's postseason basketball ticket clause made the cut.
From Schad/Berkowitz:
First-year coach Luke Fickell’s contract at Cincinnati includes a clause granting him four complimentary tickets to any Final Four game in which the Bearcats men's basketball team plays, with an option to purchase an additional 10 tickets if needed.
