The Pigskin Plantation Top 25
By Michael – Louis Ingram, Editor
BASN
So since these muthafuckas act like gangstas, let’s break it down like Tony Montana:
“First, you gotta get da money…
Well, out of 120 schools, I found a salary swing of head coaches salaries that went from the low six figures to mid – seven figures. Of this bunch, 71 head coaches make a salary of one million dollars or more per season…
“You get da money, then you get da power…
When you’re movin’ that pigskin product, depending on what part of the country you’re at, this little piggy sells like crack cocaine. And the Southeastern Conference may as well be The Carter; one place to make it, one place to distribute, one place to sell it…somewhere Nino Brown is smiling;
Those who move it best get rewarded the most. Out of the top 10 contracts, five belong to head coaches in the SEC.
Now before we get to the last part in this little gangster axiom, let’s show you the money…
The salaries listed to my knowledge do not include things such as marketing or promotional deals, bonus clauses, radio or cable shows or other perks separate and distinct from what is in their original base contracts (salary figures courtesy of www.coacheshotseat.com ).
