Head coaches at the NCAA&#8217;s top-level schools are making an average of $950,000 this year, not counting benefits, incentives, subsidized housing or any of the perks they routinely receive. At least 42 of the 119 Division I-A coaches are earning $1 million or more this year, up from five in 1999.<\/p>\n<p>Jim Tressel, coach of No. 1-ranked Ohio State, and Mack Brown, who steered Texas to the national championship a year ago, are among the nine coaches making more than $2 million. Iowa&#8217;s Kirk Ferentz will pocket a guaranteed $4.6 million in an atypical 13-month period ending next June, including $1.8 million in one-time payments. With the incentive bonuses he still can earn, he could push his take to more than $4.7 million. That&#8217;s the most among the 107 coaches for whom USA TODAY could obtain a contract or other official document showing compensation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>USA Today: Contracts for college coaches cover more than salaries Pick any numbers you like to define college football&#8217;s premier teams \u2014 points scored, yards allowed.
