The fine print

One clause we can quote, grouped by what it covers. Each line is the plain-English reading; the contract's own words sit one click beneath it.

Aircraft · 1
75hours / yr

Reported at 75 hours of private jet travel a year, added in his revised 2024 deal.

Reported by media; primary document not held. This has not been read off a contract we hold.

What the contract says
his revised deal signed last year... includes 75 hours of private jet travel per year

Every clause here is quoted from the document it cites. A clause that cannot be re-checked against the scan is not published.

A jet clause is eligibility; a tracked flight is evidence; the join is presented as contract-next-to-reporting, never as proof the coach was aboard.

How this page is sourced

Where a contract for this coach is in the corpus, the headline figures are read off that document at the page each card cites, and USA TODAY's figure runs alongside as a cross-check. Where no contract is held, the figures are school-reported contract terms from USA TODAY's coaches salary database for the most recent fiscal year on file. Neither is W-2 compensation, and neither is comparable to Form 990 totals for private schools.

Clause text is transcribed verbatim from the cited document at the cited page. Where a term is attributed to published reporting rather than a document we hold, the card says so explicitly.

Flight reports linked here are attributed to the program and the date, not to a passenger. Nothing on this page claims a coach exercised a clause or was aboard an aircraft.
