Oftentimes the highest paid state official is going to be the football or basketball coach for a university. To which the state of Idaho, and Boise State, are not immune. Harsin makes $1.6 million/year while the Governor, Butch Otter, makes $124,436.
USA Today has updated its database of college coaches salaries. And with that some interesting results.

Bryan Harsin is 70th on the list. Which is ahead of exactly one—ONE—Power 5 school: Cal’s Wilcox.
