This list does not take into account contingencies that could alter or prevent payment of bonuses, such as academic achievement by players, the coach's departure from the school, future investigations and/or sanctions related to rules violations. It also does not include bonuses for coaching honors, team academic performance, attendance, season-ticket sales, or the value of tickets or perks tied to tournament participation.
Amounts for Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, Gonzaga’s Mark Few, Miami’s Jim Larranaga, Notre Dame’s Mike Brey, Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim and Villanova’s Jay Wright are not available because their schools are private and not required to release their employment contracts.
Wisconsin’s Greg Gard has worked this season under contracts as an assistant coach and then as interim head coach. His contract as head coach on a non-interim basis was approved by the university’s governing board March 7, but the agreement has not yet been released.
