Athletic director Mack Rhoades’ choice to leave Missouri for Baylor on Wednesday became one of the week’s biggest headlines in the SEC.

Turns out, the decision will hit Rhoades’ wallet hard.

As reported by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Friday, Rhoades owes Missouri more money than he earned in base salary during his brief stay in Columbia.

Here’s part of the report from the Post-Dispatch:

Rhoades, who earlier this week accepted the athletics director job at Baylor, must pay MU $800,000 for leaving before the end of his five-year contract. Rhoades’ contract calls for a $1 million buyout if he leaves before the final six months of the deal, though that amount is reduced by $200,000 on each of the first four anniversary dates of his first day in office, which was April 27, 2015.

MU paid Rhoades $600,000 in base salary from his first day on the job through June 30, 2016. After June 30, any salary increase was subject for review by chancellor Hank Foley and interim system president Mike Middleton.

The Post-Dispatch report says Baylor will pay Rhoades a guaranteed $1 million salary “with long-term security,” so it’s not like the athletic director will be hurting financially. Still, that’s a significant chunk of money that Rhoades will owe his old employer as he starts fresh in Waco.
