An investigation into USC Athletic Director Pat Haden found the Trojans’ top athletic figurehead collects roughly half a million dollars annually for his roles outside of the athletic department.

The monetary benefits also extend to his daughter, Natalie Haden O’Connor, who is on the George Henry Mayr Foundation board with Haden.

IRS filings obtained by the Los Angeles Times found O’Connor was paid roughly $68,000 last year, with the foundation reporting she worked an average of one hour a week.

Haden was also listed as working an average of one hour a week. He made $72,725 from the nonprofit last year.

The Mayr foundation chalked up the “one hour a week” to a mistake. From the LA Times:

The Mayr Foundation trust administrator said the report to the IRS that O’Connor worked an average of one hour a week last year was a mistake and that the number was actually 15 hours a week.

The Times noted to the administrator that the foundation had reported the same average of a single hour per week for O’Connor and Haden for several years. A spokesman for the administrator later said that those reports also were “inaccurate,” but that the correct figures were not immediately available.

When asked by the LA Times what kind of qualifications O’Connor had for the board, a USC spokesman responded that Haden “doesn’t comment on other directors.”

Since 2000, Haden received more than $1 million for his work on the Mayr Board, according to IRS records.
