Rick Pitino Gets $425,000 For Winning The National Championship Game
To put this in perspective, consider that Pitino's bonus is roughly 70% of the salary for Louisville University president James Ramsey, who will make $600,000 this year.
Of course, it can be argued that Pitino is worth every penny. The Louisville basketball program brings in more than any other college basketball program. Its $40.9 million in revenue for the 2010-11 school year was $12.0 million more than the next biggest-money maker, Duke. That number is also comparable to a lot of football programs.
