To be fair, the numbers are not directly comparable. The football coach salaries are only for division I teams, which most schools don't have; the mean and median football coach salaries over all schools is probably much lower, and the academic salaries at schools with division I teams may well be higher than average.
In essence, this is comparing the average salary of the top 150 best-paid football coaches to the average for all academics. It would be interesting to see what the average of the top 150 academic salaries is.

- shawndrost 18y agoIf you consider that, you have to consider the non-monetary benefits of being a football coach, which are probably huge.
- cstejerean 18y agoUnless the school is hiring them as consultants, etc it doesn't matter.
