The school said that the football coach will get a reduced buyout.

About $20 million was left on a contract that paid him through January 2027 when he was fired. The athletic director said Sunday that the coach had agreed to take a reduced payment.

The University of Wisconsin Foundation will give all of the funds for the buyout.

The decision to change coaches was made after a lengthy discussion with the coach who won most of his games. Jim Leonhard, a three-time All-America defensive back at the school, is the interim coach.

Many people were surprised by the firing of Chryst. The former Wisconsin coach spoke to the current one on Monday. After leaving Wisconsin for Arkansas, he was fired.

It's a sad reminder of the world we live in. I've been in rodeos.
