USC Can't Afford to Keep Riley
He signed a six-year contract with a starting salary of $4 million per year. He is eligible for some bonuses, but they are not huge dollars. The base value of the contract is $25.5 million ($4.25 million a year) without any bonuses. Cignetti would owe the school $8 million in the first year if he resigns (before 11-30-24), $6 million in Year 2 (after 11-20-24), $4 million in Year 3, $2 million in Year 4 and $1 million in the final two years of the deal. $6-8 million is pocket change for some programs to reimburse Cignetti. The issue for USC is how much they would have to pay to fire Riley. And, the question I would have, relates to recruiting. How good is Cignetti? He is benefiting this year from over a dozen transfers he brought with him from his job at James Madison.
