Well, folks, let me tell ya, this Dusty May fella sure knows how to make a good living! He’s been coachin’ them basketball teams like a pro and gettin’ paid good for it. Now, you might be wonderin’, how much does Dusty May make? Let me explain it to ya in simple words.
Dusty May’s salary at Michigan, where he just signed up as the head coach, is a nice chunk of change. He’s gonna start with $3.55 million in the first year, and it’s gonna go up little by little every year. In Year 2, he gets $3.65 million, then $3.75 million in Year 3, and so on, all the way up to $3.95 million in Year 5. So, in total, he’s lookin’ at a $18.75 million deal over five years, without countin’ any bonuses he might get along the way!
Now, don’t go thinkin’ this is Dusty’s first big deal. He had a good run at Florida Atlantic before Michigan came callin’. Back in 2021, he signed a big ol’ 10-year contract extension with Florida Atlantic after they did so good, makin’ it to the Final Four. That deal paid him $1.25 million in his last season there and was gonna go up by 5% every year. All said and done, that contract was worth about $15.7 million.
But now, with Michigan, it looks like Dusty’s gonna be makin’ even more. He’s gettin’ a hefty average of $3.75 million every year. That’s a lot of money to coach them young basketball players, I’d say! Michigan sure is a big name in the college world, so you can understand why they’d want to pay good to get someone like Dusty May.
Of course, Dusty’s not doin’ it all alone. He’s got his family with him. His wife, Anna, and their three boys, Jack, Charlie, and Eli, are all part of the picture. Looks like Dusty’s workin’ hard for his family, too, and with that kinda money, they sure are livin’ good!
As for bonuses and all them extra perks, we ain’t exactly sure about the full details, but you can bet with a big contract like this, he’s probably gonna be earnin’ even more if his teams do well and win them big games. You know how it works with them coaches—win big, get big!
All in all, Dusty May’s doin’ pretty well for himself, and his move to Michigan is just the next step up in his career. If you ask me, I’d say he’s gonna be bringin’ a lot of success to that team, and Michigan’s gonna be real happy they paid the price to get him. With that kinda salary, you can bet he’ll be workin’ hard to prove he’s worth every penny!
