Donors and boosters don't make these guys the highest paid state employees. That is still a measure of state expenditures. Saban gets $9 million a year from the Alabama taxpayers. Harbaugh gets what, $8 million? The governor of most states only make in the $150,000 range. I think they said the highest paid state employee in 38 of the 50 states is a football or men's basketball coach. Actually NY isn't one of them. I'm not sure I have a huge issue with it, but it does feel off, and as a NJ taxpayer I am less happy thinking about Ash. [/QUOTE]
