It has to be a great feeling.

A coach looks up at the clock in the final seconds of a bowl game and realizes that he’s just earned another $50,000. That’s the reality for some B1G coaches.

That’s not the only way to get a bonus, either. Some get a nice five-figure attaboy just for meeting certain academic standards.

They can come in all shapes in sizes. As USA Today found out, there are some B1G coaches that are getting some healthy add-ins on top of their base salaries. For reigning B1G Coach of the Year Jerry Kill, who earned seven different bonuses, that was a very good thing.

First-year coaches Jim Harbaugh, Mike Riley, Paul Chryst and Bill Cubit were ineligible. Northwestern, a private university, didn’t release any salary information on Pat Fitzgerald’s incentives.

Here’s how the rest made out in 2014-15:
