The only Big Ten ranking that puts Jim Harbaugh behind Mike Locksley

A shorter-than-usual Big Ten season kicks off Saturday, which means it’s time for another ranking of the coaches. And yes, we did this last week, too, but that was all about the results — or least the potential for results. These rankings, however, are based on what the coaches are getting paid (according to USA Today’s database of all FBS coaches).

After all, the coaches are the only ones getting paid in the college game — for now, at least — so it’s only fair to look at how much sense their dollars and cents make.
