Ohio State's running backs coach is set to make $450,000 in base salary for the 2017 football season as part of a new 1-year contract he signed with the Buckeyes. Alford's old deal paid him $400,000 in base compensation last year.
Unlike his previous contract, Alford's new one is just for one season. It is set to expire on Jan. 31, 2018. He signed it on April 19.
The figures are the result of an open records request submitted by Eleven Warriors on Wednesday and filled by Ohio State.
Per usual, Alford can earn additional money and other perks under his new contract. They are as follows:
- An 8.5 percent base salary supplemental compensation for winning the Big Ten East Division at the coach's then-current rate.
- A 4.25 percent base salary supplemental compensation for winning the Big Ten Championship at the coach's then-current rate.
- Participation in a College Football Playoff postseason game: 17 percent base salary additional compensation at the coach's then-current rate.
- Participation in non-College Football Playoff postseason game and 9-win season: 4.25 percent of base salary bonus at the coach's then-current rate.
- Participation in semifinals (but not finals) of College Football Playoff: 21.25 percent base salary additional compensation at the coach's then-current rate.
- If Ohio State wins the CFP semifinal, Alford is not entitled to his 21.25 percent additional base salary compensation. Instead, he receives an additional 25.5 percent base salary compensation at the coach's then-current rate.
- A car loan of $600 per month.
- Six football season tickets and two men's basketball season tickets, free of charge.
