Message: [QUOTE="Zissou, post: 2687800, member: 7920"] The push back on the numbers is not terribly important, as the main take away is that Jay makes millions and is happy with what he is doing. His quote is "don't mess with happy". He saw Rollie leave Nova and Pitino leave Kentucky. To be accurate for those correcting me... Nova is a private institution so contracts and compensation are not as public as with state schools. While the quoted USA Today article has a more recent date, their source information will be the last available data. They should footnote it with the year of the data, but they don't. Private schools do need to file a 990 form with the IRS if they are non-profit 501(c)(3). I believe the most recent publicly available 990 form is for fiscal year ending May 2016, filed Aug 22, 2017, covering June 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016. So Jay makes about $2.6M on the books from the university, but maybe (likely) more, currently. We don't know if his current deal gives a bonus for a Title, for example. Non-internet (and credible) sources indicate he is making over $4M a year, from all income sources. This leads to my statement of closer to $5M than $3M. That means he probably makes more today from Villanova than has been previously reported, and that he probably makes over $1M a year from non-Nova sources. Over the next 10 years, his income likely goes up and he likely makes more than $5M a year. A guess at $5M a year over the next 10 years may be conservative. A portion of Jay's compensation is covered by a few big donors. His coaching position is an endowed title. Jay makes good coin, is happy at Nova, is on an historic run, and is unlikely to coach the Knicks next year. [/QUOTE]
