George Mason University will pay Kim English, the new men’s basketball coach, a salary of $925,000 each of five seasons and bonuses of up to $425,000 annually, mostly tied to qualifying for, and advancing in, the NCAA tournament.
In a terms sheet made available Thursday through a Freedom of Information Act request, the Fairfax County school agreed to a contract 25.5 percent higher than the one held by English’s predecessor, Dave Paulsen, who was fired last month after six seasons.
He’ll receive $450,000 in base salary and $475,000 in supplemental compensation, all guaranteed. His incentives largely mirror Paulsen’s, with bonuses each spring if he stays in the job ($25,000), for team academic performances (up to $50,000), and winning the Atlantic 10 Conference regular season title ($15,000) and tournament ($15,000).
English would receive an additional $50,000 for qualifying for the NCAA tournament and $50,000 with each victory up to the regional final. He would collect $75,000 for advancing to the Final Four, $100,000 for getting to the final and $100,000 for winning the national championship.
The university also agreed to pay English $30,000 for moving expenses, $4,500 per month for six months in a housing stipend and provide a private club or golf club membership.
