WSU football coach Mike Leach can look forward to an additional half-million dollars in annual salary.

Athletic director Bill Moos recently amended Leach’s contract, raising his annual media compensation from $100,000 per year to $600,000 per year. The pay bump raises Leach’s total guaranteed annual compensation to $2.75 million.

Moos told The Spokesman-Review the pay increase comes from a desire to keep Leach’s compensation near the top of the Pac-12. He also allocated an additional $500,000 into the pool for assistant coaching salaries.

Media compensation covers appearances on radio and television broadcasts, the use of Leach’s likeness in promotional events and other media appearances.
