Mid-major Madness joined the FOIA arms race and is putting together its own database
https://www.midmajormadness.com/2019/11 ... or-2019-20

If Missouri State’s attendance is at least 8,000 per game then Dana Ford receives a $10,000 bonus. (The Bears only drew 5,500 fans per game to JQH Arena.)

Southern Illinois’s Bryan Mullins receives $5,000 everytime the Salukis sell out SIU Arena.

If Northern Iowa’s Ben Jacobson is not among the top three highest paid coaches in the Missouri Valley in guaranteed compensation, he can renegotiate his contract.

Not Valley related (well, except on the football side, and they are coached by a Bradley alum, Billy Wright), but he is required to schedule a third buy game every other season, the third of which directly funds their D-Ops position.

Also, the list of "schools not heard from" is primarily the SWAC. . .
