As UCLA and USC struggle through this college football season, it just might be that the teams are getting what they pay for.
That puts them behind other Pac-12 coaches such as Chris Petersen of Washington, David Shaw of Stanford and Kyle Whittingham of Utah.
At top-ranked Alabama, coach Nick Saban saw his pay drop from last season — when it included a hefty bonus — but still stands atop the list at $8.3 million.
Urban Meyer of No. 3 Ohio State is in second place with $7.6 million, though he was docked almost $600,000 while serving a three-game suspension in the Zach Smith scandal.
