I think you also need to look at Perks and Bonuses...Some schools give Housing and many other benefits...Tony Robie at 160g is a steal for VT

Yeah most of these are government employees so their salaries are public record.  Most I think should include bonuses paid, but maybe not housing or something not directly paid.  The one one I am sure is wrong is Eggum.  I think that is not being reported correctly although it was from gov salaries.  It is probably $190-$220k

Big programs that I'm missing PSU, Pitt, Cornell, Lehigh, Stanford, Princeton, Northwestern, Penn.  Coaches would not be state employees at these places so there wouldn't be a reporting requirement.  So I didn't really look although one of the parties could report the number to someone or it could have leaked.

Eggum at $41,

Yeah I think he is getting more than that and they must just be reporting things differently.  I found elsewhere that he was paid $150,000 in 2018, but that was all I could find for 2021 or 2022.  He is probably near $200.

Why would coaches at PSU not be state employees?

Craig Henning got screwed in the 2007 NCAA Finals.

Pitt and PSU are "state related" institutions.  They are independent non-profit organizations that receive funding from the state government.  PA residents do have reduced tuition there because of the state funding arrangement, but university employees are not state employees.  This is contract to employees of the PASSHE schools (Bloomsburg, Clarion, Lock Haven, ect) that are directly run by the state.

Brands' new contract, obtained by the Des Moines Register, is a 7-year deal that begins July 1, 2022, and runs through June 30, 2029.
...
It jumps every year thereafter:
  • $625,000 for the '23-24 season.
  • $700,000 for '24-25.
  • $725,000 for '25-26.
  • $750,000 for '26-27.
  • $775,000 for '27-28.
  • $800,000 for '28-29.

I’d hope that’s for both of them, combined.

Are those numbers contingent on the number of transfers they bring in?

Aside from the obvious, Escobedo is one helluva steal. I think he's got that Indiana program headed in the right direction.

I wonder what Cael's actually paid. I remember the rumors he got a million when he was hired at PSU(I always suspected that was either a guarantee...like a 5 year deal, or included a house...something like that).

Now it wouldn't completely shock me to see him paid that once you get to housing or bonuses. I suspect he'd want to ensure Cunningham was paid a salary commensurate with other well paid HCs so that may come out of his salary a bit, but seemingly worth it.

Absolutely. Indiana is getting better by leaps and bounds. I hope they are able to keep some of their in-state HS talent at home. IU is a great school with a beautiful campus.
