New Wisconsin Badgers wrestling coach Chris Bono due for $250,000 salary

In his first year with the University of Wisconsin, wrestling coach Chris Bono is due to earn more than double the base salary of former coach Barry Davis.

Bono will make $250,000 in annual base salary on a three-year contract he signed March 24. The contract was released Friday in response to an open records request.

According to the most recent available contract, Davis was making a $107,467 annual base salary with the Badgers.

Bono, 44, took South Dakota State to a 12th-place finish at the 2018 NCAA championship and had one of his athletes, Seth Gross, win a national title.
