Percentage of athletes with GPA of 3.0 or above after each quarter: $20,000 per quarter for 40%; $30,000 for 50%; $50,000 for 60%

This is the only part of Tressell's contract that bugs me. I got paid less in one year by tOSU as an acadmic advisor than his per quarter bonus for 50% above 3.0. And as an honors advisor, I had about 75%-80% of my students achieving a 3.3 GPA or higher every quarter.
Why does the coach get the bonus for high GPAs and not the professors, advisors, and tutors who also help the student athletes? Then again, I never received any blame from the media for low GPAs either.
