FMR MSU Assistant and New IU Coach Gets 10-Year Contract

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) _ New Indiana basketball coach Tom Crean

has signed a 10-year deal worth $23.6 million.

School officials said Tuesday that the deal includes a base

salary of $600,000 a year, with additional payments for promotional

work. He will receive $1.4 million this season from outside income,

a total that will increase slightly each year of the contract.

Crean had agreed to an 8-year contract when he was hired in

April to replace the ousted Kelvin Sampson, but the university

agreed last month to add two more years to the deal.

The contract also includes a clause that allows the university

to fire Crean if he or his staff violate NCAA rules.
