Pac-12 Coaches Ranked By Salary, New Faces Like Deion Sanders Near The Top

The Pac-12 is home to some of the highest paid coaches in the country

On Tuesday, a USA TODAY article disclosing how much money every coach in college football makes was released.

As you can imagine, being that the Pac-12 is looking like the best conference in college football, a handful of coaches were around the top. With that being said, most people are always intrigued to see who is making the most money, which is why I compiled a list of who makes the most in the Pac-12.

Unfortunately when it comes to schools like Stanford who just hired Troy Taylor ahead of this season, and USC who hired Lincoln Riley prior to last season, since they are private the number is disclosed to the public. Let's take a look at who is the biggest earner.
