The coaching contracts we received also help demonstrate a school’s expectations and commitment to its men’s basketball program. Contracts can change rapidly, so please consider this document set to be official as of before the 2019-20 season. Some of the documents we received weren’t actually contracts, but letters of intent that were signed by incoming head coaches for the 2019-20 season. What you can do is follow the links provided in the Source column of the spreadsheet where you’ll be able to see the contract in its entirety, as it was received by Mid-Major Madness in response to our Freedom of Information request. But, because of how complicated they are, we have not moved any of those clauses into the overall spreadsheet. These clauses are the bread and butter of the coaching carousel each April, especially for successful mid-major programs. In addition to compensation, contracts include buyouts, both on the team and coach side. We haven’t highlighted any of these bonuses either because of how often they appear in most contracts. Also note that most contracts include bonuses for appearing in the NCAA Tournament or NIT, winning the conference championship (both regular season and tournament), and having strong academic performance (and an APR that keeps the school eligible for postseason play). The phone allowances, anecdotally, seemed to be less than $1,000 per year. The car allowances are usually around $500 to $1,000 per month, though there are exceptions. Both are necessary pieces of any coach’s employment, so it makes sense that they would be included in the contracts. Two pieces of the guaranteed compensation that we did not highlight in the Notable Bonuses section are the allowances that schools give coaches for vehicles and cell phones. We tried to highlight these additional sources of guaranteed compensation in the Notable Bonuses section of the table. Many contracts, though, including ones for mid-major coaches, include additional guarantees for media appearances, public speaking, or through guarantee game revenue. The reason we used Base Salary is that it is consistent across every head coaching contract. We then went through each of the contracts and pulled out the Base Salary that is explicitly stated in each contract. For private institutions, we searched for media reports, but it’s rare to find explicitly stated coach salaries for those schools. (For more on the outstanding 22 please see the end of this post). Over the past four months, we filed 171 requests and ended up receiving a contract from 149 schools. VIEW THE DATABASE HERE How We Got All of TheseĮarlier this offseason we set out to acquire as many coaching contracts as we could through state Freedom of Information requests. That is why we are happy to announce the Mid-Major Madness Contract Database, which explains nearly $41 million in college basketball contracts. Head coaches are one of the top expenses at mid-major schools.
