The contract has been announced so it has to be a done deal. And this indicates the only way MSU can dismiss him is for cause. They can stop renewing the three year contract every year if they choose, but it is there for at least until the end of2018.

I'd expect season ticket sales to take a significant hit this next year. Maybe 15%. I'd also expect game day tickets to take a hit of about the same. Dropping us back down to 15K attendance. If we keep Ash, that's a loss of $120K PER GAME. We're already down $80K PER GAME this year.
We'll probably maintain if we move on.
MSU only needs to pay Ash $175K for one year to buy him out according to his new contract as someone else pointed out on BN.
