I started wondering about the football program a couple of seasons back. I started wondering if Lady Di was putting a thumb on a scale or something. I would like to read their contracts. I tried looking and found that Dimel got nearly 200 thousand more than Kugler(boy, what a deal, huh?) but more importantly, I found that Kugler made a 24,611 in bonuses. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HE GOT A OR ANY BONUSES!
"UTEP released a memorandum of appointment, not a full contract, for UTEP’s new football coach for the 2017-18 financial year. The memorandum (for the 2017-18 fiscal year) states Dimel will be making a salary of $700,000 to start. The memorandum does not provide any information on bonuses and other incentives for Dimel."
Why the fuck don't we see the contract?
This is what I found on Kugler and the bonus was probably for APR;
