Paul Chryst is no longer the head football coach at Wisconsin, and he took a reduced buyout as he was fired.
ESPN's Adam Rittenberg noted the school said he accepted a reduced buyout of $11 million.
He had approximately $20 million remaining on his deal that ran through January 2027. The buyout money will be funded by the University of Wisconsin Foundation, which is the school's fundraising organization, and must be paid by Feb. 1.
Chryst was fired after a 2-3 start that fell short of the standards that he helped put in place.
