Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh's 2022 pay hits eight figures with big-buck bonuses

When it comes to the University of Michigan, there's only one shade of green that's acceptable.

That would be the color of money.

Michigan head football coach Jim Harbaugh has accumulated more than $2 million in performance bonuses, pushing this year's compensation past $10 million following Saturday night's 43-22 win over Purdue in the Big Ten championship game in Indianapolis.

Michigan (13-0) is heading to the College Football Playoff for the second consecutive year and will play TCU (12-1) in the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona, on New Year's Eve.

Harbaugh, whose reworked contract was announced by Michigan in February, triggered a $1 million bonus for winning a second consecutive Big Ten championship.
