Thirteen Maryland coaches and athletic director Damon Evans are taking a voluntary pay cut up to 10%, the athletic department announced Thursday, an adjustment made as the program prepares for revenue losses induced by the COVID-19 pandemic that might stretch into the tens of millions of dollars.
These pay cuts come after university-imposed base pay salary reductions. Every Terps head coach who receives supplemental pay has agreed to up to an additional 10% voluntary pay cut. Evans, who in 2018 signed a six-year contract worth about $800,000 annually, will take an additional 10% pay cut from his supplemental pay.
