When Bronco Mendenhall was introduced as Virginia's head coach, the attorneys on staff here at Streaking the Lawn reacted pretty much in unison: "SWEET! Now let's FOIA the contract."
Because Mendenhall is a public employee, his contract is subject to Virginia's Freedom of Information Act. We had requested coach's contracts from the old staff earlier in the season, and are able to compare numbers side-by-side.
We already knew the topline numbers: five years at $3.25 million. The breakdown below, compared to Mike London's contract, shows just how serious the Athletic Department is about giving Mendenhall the tools he needs to build a winning program.
