Notre Dame paid Willingham more than Weis?

Thanks to money garnered from apparel deals or media appearances or camps, Charlie Weis ultimately has been paid much more to coach Notre Dame than Tyrone Willingham is getting paid not to coach Notre Dame. But in terms of base compensation alone, the former Irish coach still outpaced the current Irish coach in 2007-08, according to the latest tax documents provided by the school. According to Notre Dame’s Form 990 tax report from ‘07-’08, Willingham earned $650,000 in base compensation as part of his settlement agreement upon his 2004 firing — more than the $521,750 paid to Weis in the same year. – Chicago Tribune
