Earning his keep
Big Ten coach of year Ryan gets raise from Wisconsin

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- University of Wisconsin men's basketball
coach Bo Ryan will receive at least $4.725 million in total
compensation under a revised agreement that runs through May of
2010, a newspaper said Thursday.
The Wisconsin State Journal said Ryan, who was the Big Ten coach
of the year in his first two seasons with the Badgers, will
continue to receive a base salary of $400,000 due to a salary
freeze for almost all UW System employees in light of the state
budget crisis.
But the State Journal and the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel said Ryan will
also be compensated through the University of Wisconsin Foundation
and Badger Basketball Boosters.
"This puts him in the middle of the pack among Big Ten
coaches," said Tim Valentyn, Ryan's attorney.
