 The cliff dive from Cincinnati Bearcats basketball has plenty of fans wondering: What's Wes Miller's contract buyout?

Year four has arguably been the worst of his tenure, but it will take a whole lot of cheddar to fire him after this season. According to The Athletic, Miller's buyout if fired before April 1, 2025, is $13 million based on the contract extension he inked in 2022.

That number drops to $9.9 million in April and drops again on April 1, 2026, to $4.69 million. It's highly unlikely Cincinnati will let go of him after this season, based on those figures.

Check out the year-by-year breakdown from The Athletic below:
