According to contracts obtained by USA TODAY Sports in conjunction with Indiana University’s National Sports Journalism Center, Kentucky’s advance to the Final Four means the following:
Head coach John Calipari gets a $150,000 bonus. (That’s on top of his $5.2 million in base compensation for this season, the $100,000 bonus he got for Kentucky being the Sweet 16 and the additional $100,000 bonus he got for them being the Elite Eight.)
Each of the team’s three full-time assistant coaches gets an amount equal to two months’ salary.
- For Kenny Payne (who is making $350,000 this season), that’s $58,334.
- For John Robic ($300,000), that’s $50,000.
- For Orlando Antigua ($275,000), that’s $45,834.
