Gov. Matt Bevin has more power and influence than anyone in the state of Kentucky.
But he doesn't have bigger paychecks than Kentucky coach Mark Stoops.
How wide is the gap between Bevin and Stoops? Bevin rakes in $149,000 annually, while Stoops' 2019 compensation is about $4.8 million.
According to USA TODAY Sports' annual review of coaches compensation – and governor salary data compiled by the nonpartisan, nonprofit Council of State Governments – governors will make about 6%, on average, of what the highest-paid public school coach in their state will make in 2019.
