Contracts for most college coaches are available in pdf format on the USA today college football site, but fyi...

In DC's contract...

$10,000 for each year participating in any bowl game ($10,000 this year)
$10,000 for each win over a MWC opponent ($40,000 this year)

$25,000 for finishing in top 25 (not this year)
$30,000 for winning MWC Championship (not this year)
$15,000 for being MWC Co-Champs (not this year)
$100,000 for participating in BCS bowl game (not this year)

They also qualify for Cowboy Joe Club Achievement Award...
1 months salary to coaching staff (Head coach & full-time assistants) for winning Conf Championship (not this year) or participating in bowl game (I guess they could qualify for getting 2 months salary for doing both?).

What I find interesting is that going to a bowl game gets rewarded (as I think it should) but winning it does NOT get additional rewards (I think that should be re-done, especially a BCS game!) No one talks about Hawaii's BCS game anymore, actually winning it has a lot of value.

They should make it more interesting by adding incentives for

1) beating the spread
2) winning road games
3) beating BYU, Utah, CSU
4) in fact, beating any higher ranked team.
