Jim Tressel is now the highest-paid coach in the Big Ten
ESPN is reporting that Ohio State coach Jim Tressel has just re-worked his contract to make him the highest paid coach in the Big Ten. Considering all things, there is no doubt he should have that title. The question is, who was the highest paid coach before they redid the contact? Rich Rodriguez?
Tressel will receive $3.5 million in 2009, with 3-4 percent annual raises until 2013. With everything he’s done for that program, I think he’s worth every penny.
