West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins will earn at least $20 million in guaranteed income over the next 10 years of his new contract, which includes incentives that could add thousands more.

WVU yesterday released details of the contract Huggins signed Friday.

Huggins will earn about $1.5 million this year, including a base salary of $250,000 and $1.25 million in supplemental compensation. His salary will increase a minimum of $100,000 per year and he will receive an annual retention bonus of $100,000 starting May 1, plus incentives.

His contract includes a $4 million buyout clause, the same amount the university is seeking to recover from former football coach Rich Rodriguez, who quit in December for a job at Michigan.

The contract also stipulates Huggins can be fired for substance abuse or habitual intoxication affecting his job performance. A WVU spokesman said that is a standard clause in employment contracts.

In 2005, Cincinnati president Nancy Zimpher refused to extend Huggins' contract after his conviction for drunken driving a year earlier.
