In 2022, the University of Miami paid its football coach, Mario Cristobal, a record $22.7 million, marking the highest single-year compensation ever reported on a tax form by a private university's athletics department, according to USA TODAY Sports research. This amount included $7.7 million in base and other pay, which likely incorporated the buyout Cristobal owed to his former employer, Oregon, and the taxes on that amount. Despite this record payment, Cristobal's team only secured five wins during the season. Reports of what UM is paying Mario were grossly exaggerated.
