Ind. Gov't. - Still more on: Coach Crean's contract online
Updating earlier ILB entries on IU Coach Crean's contract, now, thanks again to the Indianapolis Star, we have access to Purdue Coach Painter's contract. The links are part of Star reporter Mark Alesia's story today headed "Painter's deal with Purdue is much less lucrative than Crean's with IU." From the long story:
The guaranteed money per season in the contract of Purdue men's basketball coach Matt Painter is a little more than one-third that of Indiana coach Tom Crean, according to public documents released to The Star this week.Painter, last season's Big Ten Coach of the Year, has a six-year contract through 2012-13 that guarantees him an average of $843,000 per year.
Crean, hired from Marquette to rebuild IU's program after an NCAA investigation and the resignation of former coach Kelvin Sampson, is guaranteed $2.36 million per year in a 10-year contract through 2017-18.
"You could take the IU contract and contrast it with a lot of universities," Purdue athletic director Morgan Burke said. "They had their reasons."
Both coaches signed their contracts during the summer after agreeing to general terms several months earlier.
