Earlier this week, USA Today published salary info for each coach in FBS. Alabama’s Nick Saban topped the list at $8,307,000. Nowhere near the top of the list, you will find the head coaches of C-USA football teams. Regardless, some of the data presented paints an interesting picture for fans of the league.
Keep in mind that no data is available for Mike Bloomgren at Rice since that’s a private school.
Here are a few notable finds relating to C-USA...
