Honestly, I have no idea why AD's over react and change contracts based on one year. It's different when it is in their initial contract (i.e., Saban being paid $.01 more than the highest paid coach if he wins a NC). They should cover all of these stipulations in the initial contract and then work on a new contract when that one runs out. Giving an extension every year or after winning a division only puts the teams in a bind when they try to cut ties with the coach.
Heck, I'm sure Richt got a bonus for winning the East and going to the SECCG. He'll get another for his bowl game. They've already agreed in a contract what the reward for such an accomplishment should be. If he wanted an extension for winning the East, he should have gotten that in his contract initially.
