Miller Time: Indiana coach cashes in with $24 million deal

Miller's annual average of $3.35 million through the 2023-24 season is slightly more than Tom Crean earned in guaranteed money during his final season as the Hoosiers' coach.

Miller will get $25,000 each season the Hoosiers make the NCAA Tournament, $50,000 each time they reach the Elite Eight, $125,000 for a Final Four appearance and $250,000 if he brings Indiana its first national championship since 1987.

Indiana will pay the travel costs for Miller's wife and children to all basketball games not played at Assembly Hall, pay for two loaned automobiles and for as many as eight season tickets and two parking passes to each game in men's basketball and football.

Miller can request up to 20 additional tickets to all home basketball games and could have eight tickets to each road game, too.

The contract includes provisions requiring him to "participate and cooperate" with media, alumni and civic groups in a manner athletic director Fred Glass approves, to make "positive and constructive" public statements about the men's basketball team, athletics program, athletics staff, coaches and the university and maintain discipline in the men's basketball program by "being fair and protective of the student-athletes while motivating them."
