The Chronicle of Higher Education
reports:
A win in next week’s BCS national title game would give LSU coach Les Miles a $5.88-million salary increase, CNBC’s Darren Rovell reports.
That’s thanks to a clause in his contract guaranteeing him a minimum of
$1,000 more per year than the highest-paid SEC coach should he win the
national title.
Right now the league’s highest-paid coach is Alabama’s Nick Saban,
Miles’ opponent in the BCS contest. Saban is scheduled to make a base
salary of $4.73 million in 2012. Miles, who makes $3,751,000, would then
be bumped to $4,731,000. That’s a boost of $980,000 a year for the
remaining six years of his contract.
Amateur athletics indeed.
