USA Today released its yearly list of NCAA coaches’ salaries, and James Franklin found his way to the top 10.

Franklin placed eighth, earning $4,300,000 this year with a max bonus of $1,000,000. By becoming bowl-eligible last week against Temple, Franklin was granted a $200,000 bonus.

Two other Big Ten coaches — Michigan State’s Mark Dantonio and Ohio State’s Urban Meyer — topped Franklin, placing second and sixth, respectively. For comparison’s sake, Bill O’Brien made about $3.3 million coaching Penn State last year, and Joe Paterno made only a tad more than $1 million during his tenure. At Vanderbilt, Franklin made about $1.8 million in his final fiscal year as head coach.

When Franklin signed his contract, he was set to become the second highest Big Ten earner, but Dantonio received a raise after last season to bump him above Penn State’s first-year coach.

Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz rounded out the top 10, meaning that the Big Ten has four of the top 10 highest-earning coaches in the country. Nebraska’s Bo Pelini also finds himself in the top 25, earning over $3 million, 24th in the nation. Rutgers’ Kyle Flood, who still makes a cool $975,000, is the lowest-paid Big Ten coach.

Alabama’s Nick Saban topped the list, raking in more than seven million dollars.
