http://www.coacheshotseat.com/SalariesContracts.htmI have no idea if that's actually accurate, but according to that list, if the $4.1 M number at Louisville is true, then Strong is now the 5th highest paid coach in the NCAA.
He needs to cut Hart in on some of that action.
Also, notice that Gundy and Patterson already make quite a bit, and even $4 M is a relatively small raise for them.
