Marvin Menzies will be making slightly less than what UNLV was going to pay Chris Beard.

UNLV is getting a bargain with hiring New Mexico State's Marvin Menzies. The initial contract details were reported to be on par with what Chris Beard was getting, a five-year deal worth $5.7 million.

Menzies deal is still five years but totals out to $3.7 million overall. He will receiver $700,000 in the first three years and then it increases to $800,000 in his final years. The school has not commented on the deal but the information is available on the Nevada System of Higher Education website earlier this week.
