"Greg Kampe's March Madness Upset: Salary, Tenure, and Post-Game Reactions"
Oakland University men’s basketball coach Greg Kampe's contract includes a highly unusual arrangement for performance bonuses, with the amount and goals determined solely by the athletics director and subject to change at any time. The financial gap between Oakland and Kentucky programs is massive, with Kentucky attributing $23.6 million in operating expenses to men’s basketball compared to Oakland's $17.6 million for its entire athletics program. This stark contrast underscores the significance of Oakland's upset victory over Kentucky in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament.
