WVSPORTS.COM Contract Details for Danny 'Blue' Adams

[GregMadia]

Obtained through the FOIA, WVSports.com has learned the contract details for new West Virginia cornerbacks coach Danny 'Blue' Adams:

The contract was signed on March 7, 2016 and has a termination date of March 31, 2017.

Adams has a base salary of $200,000 for the one season.

Adams also has incentives like all the other coaches on staff:
-12 regular season wins - $15,000
-11 regular season wins - $10,000
-10 regular season wins - $7,500
-9 regular season wins - $5,000
-Conference title - $7,500
-Non-CFP Bowl - $10,000
-Non-semifinal CFP Bowl - $15,000
-CFP semifinal - $20,000
-CFP title game appearance - $25,000
-CFP title game victory - $5,000

Director of athletic Shane Lyons also has added a clause into Adams' contract like he did for new offensive coordinator Joe Wickline and new safeties coach Matt Caponi. If Adams, for some reason were to take another job, he'd have to pay the University 25-percent of the remaining base salary. If Adams takes a job within the Big 12, he's have to pay the University 100-percent of the salary. This is a provision Lyons seems to like, so I assume it will be in all his coaches' contracts moving forward.

OK ... sometimes I'm slow.
But what is the difference between a Non-CFP Bowl and a Non-semifinal CFP Bowl?

But what is the difference between a Non-CFP Bowl and a Non-semifinal CFP Bowl?

Non-CPF = anything but Sugar, Rose, Cotton, Fiesta, Orange, and the sixth bowl.
Non-semifinal = any of the six new year's bowls.
