Belk Bowl worth nearly $400,000 in bonuses to football staff

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas' appearance in the Belk Bowl is worth big money to the Razorbacks' football coaching staff.

The staff will be paid an estimated $390,416 in cumulative bowl bonuses, according to figures calculated by WholeHogSports.com.

The Razorbacks' nine full-time assistant coaches will receive a bonus of one month's base salary, while head coach Bret Bielema will receive a $50,000 bonus. Arkansas strength coach Ben Herbert will receive a bonus worth 75 percent of his base monthly salary.

Base monthly salaries were determined by dividing the coaches' annual salaries by 12. Taxes were not figured in the calculation of bowl bonuses.
