Cases Liquidated damages provision of head football coach's contract, providing that coach upon resign- ing would pay university amount equal to number of years left on his contract multiplied by his annu- al salary, was not a penalty so as to be unenforce- able under Tennessee law, where contract stated that university wanted five-year contract because long-term commitment was important to uni- versity's desire for stable football program, indicat- ing that parties agreed that coach's resignation would result in university suffering damage beyond cost of hiring replacement coach.
