Yes, this is usually written in. A major college professor may take half of his income from grants.
Gotcha. So essentially being awarded a grant is like an enterprise salesperson closing a big contract and getting a commission on the sale?

Kinda, though the comparison is more valid when you consider how much money the University takes. LSU, for instance, takes around (I could be wrong here) 40% of grant funds for "overhead". Thus, it is in the institution's best interest to keep scientists employed that are more likely to receive government grants.
