Weis contract at Kansas guarantees $2.5M per year

Charlie Weis is guaranteed $2.5 million annually over the course of his five-year deal with Kansas, along with incentives that could push the total over $3 million. A copy of the contract, which is dated Dec. 9, was obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press. Weis’ base salary is $230,000, though he is also in line for an additional $2.27 million in “professional services rendered,” which includes educational, promotional and public relations duties. Last February, Weis signed a three-year deal worth $2.495 million to be Florida’s offensive coordinator. He was paid $765,000 in 2011.

Weis’ contract includes a $50,000 bonus for winning five Big 12 games, plus $10,000 for each additional game, along with $100,000 for a conference championship, $50,000 for appearing in a bowl game and $25,000 for winning a bowl game. He’ll make $100,000 for appearing in a BCS bowl game and $50,000 for winning it, and double those totals if it’s the national title game.

Weis will also make $50,000 if he’s voted the Big 12 coach of the year and $75,000 if he’s voted AP national coach of the year.
