Bonus Incentives for Oklahoma Coaches 
Summertime is contract renewal time, and for University of Oklahoma coaches this year, there were lots of incentives included. Many of the bonuses are for staying at the school, with the timing down to a science.

Oklahoma just made it a lot harder for football coach Bob Stoops and basketball coach Jeff Capel to leave.

University regents on Wednesday approved bonus-laden contracts that would keep both coaches in charge of the Sooners for seven more seasons, adding two years to each deal.
Stoops' new package would pay him more than $30 million through the end of 2015. He would earn a total of $3.675 million next season, including an annual "stay" bonus of $700,000. He will get the bonus this October, but in July in subsequent years.  Read the full story
Audit uncovers questionable financial practices at K-State
The Kansas City Star

A scathing audit of Kansas State University reveals a pattern of undisclosed payments, conflicts of interest, poor accounting and possible tax problems for the school, several of its former employees and its athletic department.

The audit, released by the Kansas Board of Regents on Friday, describes thousands of dollars paid to companies owned by current and former university employees. They include head football coach Bill Snyder; former athletic director Tim Weiser; and Bob Krause, a former vice president for institutional advancement and former athletic director.

Auditors found that some of those payments could result in additional tax liability for the university and may violate Internal Revenue Service regulations. But the report stops short of concluding that any payments or other irregularities were illegal, and notes that virtually all the money came from private donations, not taxpayers.

The new K-State president, Kirk Schulz, said he welcomed the regents’ decision to release the audit, which is dated April 27. The board discussed it in closed session Friday.

The North Carolina Tar Heels will wear the swoosh for the next nine years.University of North Carolina officials said Wednesday they have signed a 10-year contract for Nike to supply athletic equipment and apparel to its sports teams.

The contract was signed in late May and made retroactive to July 1, 2008.  The company  will provide shoes, uniforms, balls, coaching gear and other equipment for the school. The athletic department also will receive $1 million from the deal, with those funds being used for lighting and sound improvements to the Dean Smith Center.

School officials also said Nike has entered individual contracts with each of the Tar Heels' head coaches.

Yeah, it's all about educating young men and women.    
The Big Cash Scheme -- Sic'em Congress
The US Senate plans to hold a hearing next week looking into antitrust issues surrounding the Bowl Championship Series. It’s the second time this year that Congress is shining a light on the polarizing system college football uses to crown its national champion.

The hearing will be held next Tuesday in the Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee on antitrust, competition policy and consumer rights, according to a posting on the committee’s Web site.
Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, the subcommittee’s top Republican and the lawmaker who sought the hearing, did not return telephone and e-mail messages left at his office Tuesday.

In an essay for Sports Illustrated being released Wednesday, Hatch wrote that the Sherman Antitrust Act prohibits contracts, combinations or conspiracies designed to reduce competition.
“I don’t think a more accurate description of what the BCS does exists,” Hatch wrote. He noted that six conferences get automatic bids to participate in series, while others do not. The system, he argued, “intentionally and explicitly favors certain participants.”

Citing the money generated by the BCS, Hatch wrote, “If the government were to ignore a similar business arrangement of this magnitude in any other industry, it would be condemned for shirking its responsibility.”
When asked about Hatch’s comments, BCS coordinator John Swofford said the BCS’ lawyers have “worked diligently to ensure that the BCS is in compliance with the law.”

Football fans in Hatch’s state were furious that Utah was bypassed for the national championship despite going undefeated in the regular season. Hatch noted that President Barack Obama and others have called for the BCS to be replaced with a playoff system.

David Frohnmayer, president of the University of Oregon and chairman of the BCS Presidential Oversight Committee, expressed a preference Tuesday for the current system, saying the proposals for a playoff system “disrespect our academic calendars, and they utterly lack a business plan.”
