Pope didnt have to do anything, I am sure he met the obligations required of him.
People probably would have liked to have seen a Wayne Gretzky type press conference with tears and the like and how hard the decision was. Instead people found out the the relationship was transactional and BYU certainly got a fair return on there investment. But it shouldnt be surprising that we arent renaming the floor "Pope Court" with the way he left. Fwiw you can go "Gretzky Drive" in Edmonton which a major road.
