> [@Yetti VR"](#): > > interesting and sad. Don’t believe it however Sadly, I do believe it. I know down south, big college football coaches get paid well over $1M/year. Keep in mind that I’m assuming these figures are strictly salaries, not including grants, endorsements/sponsors, bonuses, etc… ---

John Calipari and Nick Saban both make in the $5-5.3M range, so it’s not surprising at all. College sports are a multi-billion dollar industry, it only makes sense that the driving forces behind them would be highly compensated. ---

The highest paid NYS public employee is not a med school department chair…it is Alain Kalayeros who runs the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering at UAlbany…who happens to drive a smoking hot Ferrari. Guess since he’s brought in billions of dollars to the campus he deserves all the cash he gets. ---

Guess since he’s brought in billions of dollars to the campus he deserves all the cash he gets. I don’t think they count his grant money and what he gets paid as a stipen. Seems like think they count his 800k+ that the state pays him, in which makes him not the top earner. SUNY downstate chair gets paid more from nys, 1.06 mill in '12.
