Income Notes
- 2024
Total Pay represents partial-year total for Smart, who was hired by Marquette on March 26, 2021. (Figures for private schools based on federal tax records showing pay for 2021 calendar year.) - 2021
REDUCTION: Base salary of $3.4 million reduced by marginal rates resulting in total deduction of $501,250 from Sept. 1, 2020 through Aug. 31, 2021. Contract year ends April 5. School has committed to repay deduction prior to contract's scheduled expiration on April 5, 2023. - 2016
Texas also paid $500,000 to Virginia Commonwealth to assume Smart's contract. The amount, to have been paid May 6, 2015, is equal to the amount Smart or his new employer owed VCU for terminating his contract without cause from May 1, 2014 through April 30, 2015, and accepting a head coaching job within 12 months of termination. Texas will owe VCU an additional $250,000 if it does not enter into a contract for a two-year, home-and-home series with VCU. - 2015
Maximum bonus amount includes $156,000 Smart will receive under contract provision that gives him $6,500 for each national TV appearance the team makes during the regular season and $3,500 apiece for some regional TV appearances. The team made 24 national TV appearances and zero qualifying regional TV appearances this regular season.

Where the table does not display a number, it means the amount could not be obtained. An asterisk means additional information about the coach's compensation is available by clicking on the number shown.
“School Buyout” figures are the amount a school would owe coach if it fired coach without cause on April 1, 2024. Many of these amounts are expressly subject to coach's duty to make good-faith efforts to find another job, with income from that employment offsetting the amount owed. If mitigation and offset are not addressed in a contract, coach still may have obligation to make efforts in that regard. The amount listed may be owed to coach over an extended period of time, rather than as a lump sum at termination.
Coaches' records are going into 2023-24 season, compiled by USA TODAY's Ellen Horrow and Casey Moore from information displayed in NCAA statistics database at NCAA Statistics - so they may be impacted by games vacated or forfeited by the NCAA or the schools.
"Record at school" data for Murray State’s Steve Prohm is based on his current tenure at the school.
