Arizona’s Board of Regents approved the incentive-laden contract of new coach Sean Miller. Miller will receive $1.6 million a year for five years, and he will receive an automatic two-year extension as long as he doesn’t do anything to deserve being fired during the first two years with the Wildcats. According to the Associated Press, Miller has plenty of opportunities to earn extra cash.
The contract is loaded with incentives, including an extra $1 million to finish it out.
Miller would earn an extra $25,000 if his team meets minimum NCAA academic standards; $50,000 if the Wildcats win a regular-season Pac-10 championship; $50,000 if they win the Pac-10 Tournament, $300,000 for a Final Four appearance and $675,000 for a national championship.
Other benefits in Miller’s contract include the use of two vehicles, tickets to university sporting events, country club privileges and the use of a private jet for 30 hours a year.
