    Link is to USAToday list of coaches salaries, some private schools like Northwestern, ND, USC, etc don't list the salaries public schools of course have to file reports that are accessable to those who want to file the proper paperwork to see them.

    The one that stood out to me is SMU's June Jones, he's making 2.1 M/year at a CUSA school. That is crazy money for a school with a small (but nice) stadium, no real TV money, little or no chance at a bowl where there would maybe be some decent money. The old boosters from the 80's must have finally come back. I know SMU has some well heeled boosters there in Dallas and I'm sure they hate it that TCU is doing so well. But even TCU isn't paying that kind of money.

    $2.1 million per year for a coach is nothing for SMU. They used to pay their players more than that...
