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.
Reported at 25 hours a year on a light jet via Delta Jets or a comparable carrier, with unused time carrying over.
Reported by media; primary document not held. This has not been read off a contract we hold.
“the athletic association will furnish a light jet via Delta Jets or a comparable carrier service for Smart's personal, non-business travel for a maximum of 25 hours of flight time per calendar year”
Every clause here is quoted from the document it cites. A clause that cannot be re-checked against the scan is not published.
Contract grants 25 personal flight hours a year (reported) → Published reporting on Georgia Bulldogs aircraft during this tenure:
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.
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.
