So I got a hold of some details regarding Nate Oat’s contract. Here is the 10,000 foot view”

• Base Salary = 600,000

That’s more than UB had reportedly offered Bobby Hurley back in the day. And Oats has earned every penny

Oats has to pay for the car, the insurance, and everything. But he gets a 400$ stipend per month to conduct UB coaching duties.
