Alright, so I found myself wondering about Wes Moore’s salary over at NC State the other day. You know how it goes, you hear a name buzzing around, especially after a good run in sports, and curiosity just kicks in. So, I decided to do a little digging myself.
First thing I did was just hop onto my usual search engine. Nothing fancy. I typed in the basics, something like “Wes Moore NC State salary”. Pretty straightforward, right?
Got a bunch of results back, mostly sports news articles and fan forum discussions. Some articles mentioned figures, especially around the time he was hired or when his contract details were first reported. It wasn’t like one big number flashing everywhere, though.
Trying Different Angles
So, I thought, okay, let’s refine this a bit. I tried a few other searches:
- “Wes Moore contract NC State”
- “NC State basketball coach compensation”
- “Wes Moore earnings NC State”
This brought up some more detailed reports. Seemed like the sports journalists covering the ACC or NC State specifically had bits and pieces. They often mentioned things like base salary, potential bonuses for performance (like making the tournament, winning games), and maybe other perks tied to the job. It’s rarely just one flat number with these big coaching gigs.
I also poked around to see if North Carolina has one of those public employee salary databases online. Sometimes you can find state university employee salaries listed there. Spent a bit of time clicking through some state government sites. It can be a bit of a maze finding the right database and then searching effectively. Sometimes the data isn’t super current either, might lag by a year or so, or might only show the base state salary part, not the extras from athletic department funds or boosters.
Putting it Together
After looking through several news reports from reputable sports outlets and trying the public records angle, I started to get a clearer picture. It seems like most reports put his overall compensation package in a certain range, but getting the exact, down-to-the-dollar figure isn’t easy without seeing the actual contract document, which usually isn’t just posted online for anyone to grab.
What I gathered was this: His pay is made up of a base salary supplemented significantly by other funds, likely tied to media appearances, endorsements (via the university’s agreements), and performance incentives. The total value reported around his hiring seemed to be in the multi-million dollar range per year when you factor everything in.
So, yeah, that was my little journey trying to figure out the Wes Moore salary situation. Didn’t find a single, simple answer posted in big letters, but by checking different sources and understanding how these contracts usually work, I feel like I got a pretty good handle on the ballpark figures involved. It’s definitely a nice paycheck to coach basketball at that level!
