Tournament time is big money for advertisers, television networks, and the cities hosting each NCAA Tournament game.
The coaches also make a little extra for their bank accounts.
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]John Calipari’s contract has some very nice bonuses for each tournament milestone he achieves.
This year alone for winning the SEC tournament ($50,000), making the NCAA tournament round of 16 ($100,000), and making the Final Four ($175,000) he has already amassed $325,000.
If the Cats win the national title Calipari will receive a $375,000 bonus.
Kentucky’s fans would love #8 hanging in Rupp Arena, but I think Coach Cal would also love to finish up with an extra $700,000 to have a nice, well deserved offseason vacation.
