Details: 1. The contracts and base salaries covering the 2019-20 season for the head football coach, the 10 full-time assistant football coaches and the football team’s head strength/conditioning coach, including but not limited to:
§ Amendments or addenda.
§ Documents reflecting current or intended compensation or benefits to any of the coaches from a third party.
*If the head coach (or any assistant or the strength/conditioning coach) is not covered by a contract, please provide the applicable letter of understanding or other document that outlines his compensation and a copy of any document listing bonuses for which the coach is eligible, including criteria for the bonuses and the amounts that would be paid.
*If the head coach (or any assistant or the strength/conditioning coach) is employed on an at-will basis, please provide a list of each coach’s base salary and a copy of any document listing bonuses for which the coach is eligible, including criteria for the bonuses and the amounts that would be paid.
*If the football team does not have a dedicated strength/conditioning coach, I would like to obtain the compensation information for the athletics department’s head strength/conditioning coach.
2. The most recent athletically related outside-income reports for the head football coach, the 10 assistant football coaches and the football team’s head strength/conditioning coach described above. This is a document that, pursuant to an NCAA rules change in August 2018, athletic personnel must file annually to report income of more than $600 from sources other than the university. If the university has not yet resumed collecting these documents, please state that in the response to this request.
3. An itemized list of incentive bonus amounts actually paid to the current head football coach from May 15, 2018 through May 14, 2019. The goal of this request is to obtain data about bonus payments made for sport-related goals achieved during the 2018-19 football 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.
4. The university’s contracts for non-conference football games scheduled to be played during the 2019 regular season, including any amendments.
