According to what I can find in his contract (
http://cjonline.com/sites/default/files/Frank%20Martin's%20contract%20(2010)_0.pdf) Frank made $1.56 million this year if he got all bonuses. However, I'm not certain on all bonuses, but that gives him the benefit of the doubt for all.
His base this year was $1.3 million.
The bonus for a 9-7 Big 12 record was 4%, I'm assuming he got the same for 10-8. That adds $52K.
The bonus for an Torn-a-ment birth was 8%. That's $104K.
The bonus for APR scores is $25K or $50K. I gave him the higher number.
The bonus for GSR is $50K. I gave it to him.
That leaves the questions...
Is Frank worth more?
What is the worth of selling out the arena every season?
What is the worth of the coach being the face of the program? (he was seleced by CBS for a reason)
What is the worth of continuing to finish above .500 in the league?
What is the worth of 4 of 5 NCAA seasons with first round wins in each?
This just doesn't seem hard to me. I like the escalating salary and I can see the caution in some people. I suppose at the end of the day to me it just make sense to give Frank a bit of a boost, even $300-400K, to stroke his ego.
