You left out Charlie Weis.

It didn't say that. It says Arkansas. That is me going too fast typing it up and not really thinking.

Madison is still paying for the wreckage to the bar/buffet scene there.

Yeah, the Dantonio figure is including the $2 million longevity bonus for attaining 8 years of service as head coach in 2014. His original contract had the longevity bonus set to be paid after 10 years of service, but when his deal was re-worked in October 2011, the bonus payoff time was reduced to 8 years.

Note: Dantonio gets to keep more of his salary than most other big-name coaches because he doesn't have an agent!

North Alabama, Bobby Wallace: $103,000 (in 2012) ... he may have received a raise since then.
