What's in Chris McIntosh's contract as Wisconsin AD? 2 cars, country club membership, escalating pay

Chris McIntosh will start as University of Wisconsin athletic director on July 1 with a contract similar in wording to his predecessor's.

Like Barry Alvarez, McIntosh gets an annual stipend to cover two automobiles and a family country club membership, according to a contract released Thursday through a public records request.

One big difference is in pay. Alvarez made $1.55 million in his last year as athletic director; McIntosh will start at $940,000.

The financials

The base pay for the athletic director position is $500,000 but it's supplemented by an additional compensation agreement with the UW Foundation.
