Athletics

Name: Greg Chick

Affiliation: Withheld.

Location: UConn Storrs

Request Date Start: Withheld.

Request Date End: Withheld.

Details: My name is Greg Chick and I'm the Editor-in-Chief of an online newsletter called NILnomics, where I analyze and share insights on college sports finance. I am writing to ask for a copy of the contract and salary information for the head coach of the current football, mens/womens basketball, and mens/womens hockey teams. Obviously if your institution does not have one of these sports I do not require any documentation for that team/head coach position. Any documents containing information about the head coach such as their employment contract, salary agreement, bonuses, appointment, benefits, etc. are documents I'm interested in. My goal is to know what each coach's base salary, benefits, potential (or past earned) bonuses, buyouts, and term (ie length of contract). I am requesting this as a formal FOIA request.
