As the Eastern Michigan men’s basketball program sits in limbo, coach Rob Murphy’s contract is an issue.
Murphy, who reportedly wants to leave the Eagles for a job with the Orlando Magic, would be required to pay the university $210,000 to break his contract.
That is equivalent to one year’s salary and would need to be paid in a lump sum or in monthly payments over the remaining term of the five-year contract, which is four more years.
