So, did Frazier underpay Jones to get a $15k bonus?
Posted: Thu Jan 10, 2008 2:04 pmTo get the bonus Frazier had to keep athletic department in the black for two consecutive years and pay off a loan to the University.
The athletic department made $68,325 in the 2007 fiscal year.
In the 2006 the department made a $7,483 profit, reversing years of red ink.
An audit discovered a "human error" that caused former star football coach June Jones to be underpaid by $10,000 in the 2006 fiscal year. Jones has since been compensated for that amount, according to the audit.
Did Frazier need to find a little extra money in fiscal year 2006 and decide that a minor reduction in Jones' paycheck wouldn't be noticed?

Even if Frazier had nothing to do with this little "human error," I bet this bonus was a big reason Frazier did not want to renegotiate Jones' contract or make needed mprovements. Frazier knew it would come at the expense of his bonus. Frazier probably figured he had the greater need for extra money.
