After more than 1,000 wins it's no surprise that Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski tops the college basketball salary scale. What's surprising is where North Carolina coach Roy Williams fall on the list.
A 2018 USA Today salary database by USA Today of the power conferences and teams from other conferences that have made the NCAA tournament three of the past five seasons showed that Coach K will make just under $9 million this season.
Krzyzewski's $8,982,325 compensation tops second-place John Calipari ($7,.994,147) of Kentucky by almost $1 million. Ohio State's Chris Holtmann ($7,149,849) is third on the list and the only other coach in the survey making more than $5 million.
