About the data

Salary and compensation figures were, in most cases, calculated from the coaches' contracts, which were obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution under open records laws. Figures for public universities are for the 2008-09 academic year.

"Other compensation" includes guaranteed amounts from radio/TV shows; shoe, apparel and other endorsement rights; camps; public relations fees; retention bonuses; and deferred compensation. Maryland's contracts were not made available. The totals for Williams and Frese come from published reports.

As private schools, Vanderbilt, Duke, Wake Forest, Boston College and Miami are not subject to open records laws and declined to provide their coaches' contracts. In those cases, when available, coaches' salaries were taken from the colleges' 2007 federal tax filings, which list the institutions' five highest-paid employees. Also, Ole Miss said its coaches' contracts are considered personnel records and exempt from Mississippi's open-records law; figures used for Ole Miss men's basketball coach Andy Kennedy are from published reports.

The contracts provided by Mississippi State included base salary paid by the state but not the compensation paid by the private Bulldog Foundation; men's basketball coach Rick Stansbury's "other compensation" is from published reports.

Virginia declined to release women's coach Debbie Ryan's contract on the grounds that it predates that state's statute mandating disclosure of public contracts.
