Associated Press

Clemson football coach Tommy Bowden receives more than $1.8 million a year under his newly signed contract.

Bowden's basketball counterpart, Oliver Purnell, earns at least $775,000 annually under his new contract extension.

The school released details of the agreements today after Freedom of Information Act requests from The Associated Press and other organizations.

Bowden's deal ties him to Clemson through the 2014 season. Purnell's new contract also binds him to the Tigers through 2014.
