The Kansas Jayhawks released the details of David Beaty's contract on Friday, and it's clear the first-time head coach isn't afraid to bet on himself. Beaty will receive a base salary of $800,000 in an incentive-laden deal which features $25,000 bonuses for every Big 12 game the Jayhawks win.

If Beaty is able to lead Kansas to a six-win season, the "professional services" portion of his salary receives a $100,000 raise for the remainder of his five-year deal. He'd also receive a $100,000 bonus for coaching KU in a bowl game.

You have to admire Beaty's confidence. Kansas needed a more affordable coach after paying more than $11 million to buy out Turner Gill and Charlie Weis. Beaty isn't afraid to bet on himself and take the incentives to lead a program that's lost 41 of its last 44 games in Big 12 play.
