Coaches paid bonuses for tournament
There was a legal dilemma for schools when the NCAA Tournament was called off last year. What do you do about bonus that were to due to coaches that clearly would have made the field? Do you pay them for an appearance that never happened or do you not reward them for a season worthy of being in the field?
Ten schools decided on the former option, allowing their respective coaches to cash in.
Bobby Hurley, Arizona State - $75,000
Tony Bennett, Virginia - $50,000
Greg Gard, Wisconsin - $50,000
Bruce Pearl, Auburn - $50,000
Mike White, Florida - $37,500
