- include a “permission to contact” clause in future coaching contracts, requiring Wisconsin coaches to seek and receive permission from their Athletic Director before discussing opportunities with other schools.
Such a clause was included in the contract between Marist College and former basketball coach Matt Brady, which was the subject of a lawsuit between the parties.

This would be a terrific piece for Legal Issues in Collegiate Athletics, and SLA for the matter.
Any interest in expanding it to about 800 words by December 19?
