Okay, so the other day I was kinda curious about how much money folks make in big-time college sports jobs. I mean, you always hear about these crazy salaries, right? So, I decided to dig into Wes Moore’s salary, ’cause he’s the head coach of the NC State women’s basketball team. It all started with a simple question: how much does this guy actually pull in?
First, I just went straight to good ol’ Google. Typed in “Wes Moore NC State salary” and boom, tons of stuff popped up. It wasn’t super straightforward at first, lots of articles talking about his contract extension and stuff.
I started clicking through a few articles. I saw one from, like, USA Today – a pretty legit source, I figured. It gave me the basic breakdown. It was saying he makes something over a million bucks a year. That’s some serious cash!
Then, I saw the bonus numbers…wow. I read that correctly: he could get more than half a million bonus!
Digging Deeper into the Details
The USA Today article was a good start, but I wanted more details. I learned that a big part of his salary comes from the team’s success,and bringing the Wolfpack back to national prominence, which makes sense.
I also found some info about a “buyout clause.” Apparently, if another school wanted to snatch him up, they’d have to pay NC State a ton of money. As of April 2024 it’s about $1.8 million.
- Base Salary: Over a million a year!
- Potential Bonus: Could be over $500,000.
- Buyout clause:$1.8 million.
So, yeah, that’s what I found out about Wes Moore’s salary. It was a pretty interesting little research project. Dude’s making bank, and honestly, with the success he’s brought to the program, he’s probably worth it. My takeaway? Coaching at that level is a serious business, with serious money involved.
