University of Southern California football coach Lincoln Riley was credited with a little more than $11.5 million in total compensation for the 2023 calendar year, the school’s new federal tax returns show.
The document, provided by the university Thursday in response to a request from USA TODAY Sports, also showed that Riley has the benefit of a housing loan that has a balance due of $3.43 million — the same as the original amount.
Just over $10.2 million of Riley’s total compensation was categorized as base compensation; $100,000 as bonus and incentive compensation; and nearly $1.15 million as what the tax form calls “other reportable compensation.”
This provides the first full look at Riley’s pay as USC’s coach, including the loan. The school’s return last year, which covered 2022 calendar-year pay, included amounts connected to the $4.5 million buyout that USC paid to the University of Oklahoma on Riley’s behalf for ending his contract with that school. USC treated that amount as taxable income for Riley, but it also paid those taxes. That resulted in USC reporting Riley with $19.7 million in total compensation, including slightly less than $10 million that was categorized as base compensation.
