Mark Richt’s coaching career has made him a lot of money

In his contract with the University of Georgia Athletic Association, “other university income” included $1.5 million for media appearances, $1.2 million for shoe and clothing endorsements, and over $130,000 for camps and clinics.
The Hurricanes extended Richt’s contract through 2023, giving him a new six-year deal. In December 2015, he first agreed to a six-year deal.
