After a lengthy battle in which the Pennsylvania courts had to decide if “morale” was a good enough reason for colleges not to release salary data (it wasn’t), Joe Paterno’s salary has been revealed to be $512,664.
Just in case you were wondering, Temple’s Al Golden pulls in double what any other MAC coach makes: $575,000.
While these figures may seem high, some college’s pay their coaches in the millions with the highest paid coach being Nick Saban of Alabama who makes a cool $4 million.
