(AP) -Tax records show the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association paid its top six executives a total of $1 million last year.That's up 72 percent from 2001 tax filings. The WIAA receives most of its funding from operating the state's annual athletic tournaments. Those events generated $7.6 million last year from ticket sales, broadcast rights, sponsorships and other sources.
Nonprofit tax records, reviewed by USA Today Network-Wisconsin, show WIAA Executive Director Dave Anderson is paid a base salary of $162,000, plus $78,000 in benefits, which include retirement contributions. Anderson says the WIAA salaries are approved by a board of school officials and reflect industry rates. Anderson, four directors under him and an association spokesman each receive a six-figure salary and more than $57,000 in benefits.
