Request Date Start: Withheld.

Request Date End: Withheld.

Details: 1. The revenue-and-expenses report completed by the athletic department for the National Collegiate Athletic Association for the 2020 fiscal year. It is a multi-page document that was due to be filed with the NCAA on Jan. 15, 2021. It contains more than 40 revenue and expense categories, followed by specific breakdowns of each of those categories, by sport and gender. I am requesting the full report, including the detail tables and the entire Statement of Revenues and Expenses that appears at the end of the report. PLEASE NOTE: The NCAA report is different than the equity report that is sent to the U.S. Department of Education for Title IX compliance.

2. The current contracts – including documents reflecting any voluntary or mandatory compensation adjustments since March 15, 2020 -- and the current base salaries, if not specified in the contract, for the following athletics department employees:
--Men’s basketball head coach, if there is now a full-form contract for Dan Hurley
--Women’s basketball head coach.
--The women’s basketball team’s three full-time assistant coaches.
If there is no contact for any of these individuals, please forward the letter(s) of intent or other document(s) outlining each person’s conditions of employment -- including bonus structure -- and/or a current statement of salary.

3. The most recent athletically related outside income report for the men’s basketball head coach and the women’s basketball head coach. If the university has not yet resumed collecting these documents, which again are required under an NCAA rules change in August 2018, please state that in the response to this request.

4.. An itemized list of incentive bonus amounts actually paid to the current men’s basketball head coach from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. The goal of this request is to obtain data about bonus payments made for sport-related goals achieved during the 2019-20 basketball season and/or for academic or other achievements during a full, 12-month period, even though that period may not conform with the school’s fiscal year or academic year or with the coach’s contract year.
