A top-10 salary in the Big 12 and over $1 million in potential bonuses highlight new Kansas State men’s basketball head coach Casey Alexander’s contract, which The Mercury obtained Monday afternoon.
K-State announced last week that Alexander signed a five-year deal worth $17 million before any bonuses. He will make $3.3 million in the first year, and that will increase by $50,000 every year through the 2030-31 season.
That ranks eighth currently in the Big 12 of the 13 available salaries of coaches who are still employed. Arizona State’s Bobby Hurley and Cincinnati’s Wes Miller were fired earlier this month and the salary of BYU’s Kevin Young isn’t available.
The Wildcats paid Belmont $600,000 to buy Alexander out of his previous contract.
