Jayhawks makes Mangino third highest paid coach in Big XII
Kansas head coach Mark Mangino is entering some pretty lofty company in the Big XII, joining Oklahoma's Bob Stoops and Texas' Mack Brown in the conference $2 million plus club.
The Jayhawks signed Mangino to a two-year contract extension that will keep him at KU through 2012 at roughly $2.3 million per year. The new extension makes the Kansas coach the 13th highest paid college football coach in the country.
Mangino's new deal includes an increased payout in several incentives that could push the coach's salary even higher, including a $1.5 million longevity payment if he stays at KU through 2012.
From the Kansas City Star, here's at look at Mangino's incentives:
$225,000 - National championship
$125,000 - BCS bowl appearance
$100,000 - New Year's Day bowl
$75,000 - Other bowl appearance
$75,000 - Big XII Championship
$50,000 - Big 12 coach of the year
$75,000 - AP coach of the year
$125,000 - 40,000 season tickets sold by 9/1
