Spartans Illustrated received new head coach Robyn Fralick's full contract details via a FOIA request and has made it available in detail. Fralick's base salary of $900,000 per year will also be combined with $75,000 for media appearances and $25,000 for a shoe and apparel deal. That brings her annual compensation to $1 million per year on a six-year contract and will make her one of just three Big Ten coaches earning at least $1 million per year. Maryland's Brenda Frese and Iowa's Lisa Bluder are the other two coaches in the league. Just 11 total head coaches in Division 1 women's basketball earn at least $1 million per year in base salary.
Michigan's Barnes Arico under her current contract will earn a base salary of $890,500, though incentives in her contract resulted in this past season bringing her compensation to over $1 million in pay, becoming the first female head coach to earn that total in the state.
Per the contract, there are a number of incentives for Fralick as well. Those include $30,000 for winning at least a share of the Big Ten regular-season title; $15,000 for winning the Big Ten tournament; $10,000 each for an NCAA Tournament First Four, first-round and second-round appearance; $25,000 for making the Sweet 16; $50,000 for making the Elite Eight; $75,000 for making the Final Four; $100,000 for making the championship game; and $100,000 for winning it all. Fralick also would get $25,000 if named Big Ten coach of the year, and $25,000 for national coach of the year.
Fralick also gets the standard Michigan State coach benefits, including up to two courtesy cars, a membership to a country club or social club, and tickets to football, basketball, and hockey games.
One other detail of note is that Fralick gets a $825,000 budget with which to hire eight full-time staff members. She has not yet announced her coaching staff at MSU, though most of her Bowling Green assistants are expected to be among the staff.
