At a time of cuts in education and tuition increases, it's heartening to see not all collegiate pay has stagnated.
Top college pay and annual increases:
1- Will Muschamp University of Texas - $907,000/yr
2- Kirby Smart University of Alabama - $762,350/yr
3- Todd Granttham University of Georgia - $760,600/yr
4- Ellis Johnson University of South Carolina - $706,650/yr
5- John Chavis LSU - $700,000/yr
6- Barack Obama - $400,000/yr
What do these men have in common? With the exception of President Obama, they are all ASSISTANT university football coaches.
And they are not an anomaly. In US colleges this year, 132 assistant coaches are paid more than $250,000/yr.
Lest you worry that the assistants are being overpaid - the average pay for Head Football Coaches at major universities averages $1.36 million per year.
Don't let anyone say that America is shirking it's financial commitment to higher education.
