Pac-12 coaches, administrators take pay cuts because of coronavirus pandemic

SALT LAKE CITY — A number of Pac-12 head coaches and administrators, including commissioner Larry Scott and several athletic directors, are among the growing list of college sports personnel whose bank accounts will take a hit because of the coronavirus-caused sports lockdown.

Scott will receive a 20% pay cut from his reported salary of $5-plus million and his executive staff will take 10% income reductions through June, The Mercury News wrote last month.

Along with that, the Oregon athletic department will see 10% voluntary pay cuts by their athletic director and all of the program’s head coaches for the 2020-21 academic year, the university announced this week.

Elsewhere in the Pac-12, Colorado’s coaching staffs will take a 10% pay cut, while the Washington State football coach (Nick Rolovich), men’s basketball coach (Kyle Smith) and athletic director (Pat Chun) reportedly volunteered to receive 5% less income.
