After leading the Kentucky football program for 13 seasons, Mark Stoops is being relieved of his duties as the Wildcats’ head football coach. On3’s Chris Low and Pete Nakos announced the news on Sunday night.

Stoops’ buyout is worth approximately $38 million and is due within 60 days of his termination, but Low reports that an agreement has been made to spread out the payments over a number of years.

“He’s owed a $38 million buyout that is payable within 60 days of his termination if fired without cause,” Low wrote.
