USA Today has been focusing on coach pay at universities this week, building on earlier work to obtain data from the 100-plus major schools that field football teams. It's interesting to note that information was not available from UNC-Chapel Hill on the extra income, such as from shoe contracts, for coach Butch Davis. He's listed as being paid about $1.7 million, though his actual pay is much higher. N.C State's Tom O'Brien is listed at $1.2 million, including the extra pay.
The series continues on Thursday at usatoday.com.

UNC coaches salaries
