Coach Davis donates $25,000 to Indianapolis church

Men's basketball coach Mike Davis shows his commitment to children with his three-year-old son, Antoine, in his arms. Davis donated his $25,000 bonus he received from winning a share of the Big Ten title to Eastern Star Church in Indianapolis. The money will be used to fund a program for underprivileged children. Davis officially signed his contract Feb. 15, after serving as head basketball coach under a memorandum with the athletics department. In his contract, he earns $225,000 a year. In addition to his base salary, the new contract also includes added bonuses and compensations depending on the basketball team's performance in the regular and post season. He would earn $100,000 for winning the national championship. Those interested in making a donation to the church should call (317) 591-5390.
