Thanks Mike. I had no idea. I am in the wrong business.

I think you are underestimating what assistant coaches get at a Big Ten level
school, even Northwestern, by a factor of 100% or more.  Salaries for the 
University
of Minnesota coaches are public, but I can only find data for 2008-09, during 
which
the lowest paid assistant coach at Minnesota got $110K.  (The coaches at 
UM-Duluth
got a lot less, of course.)

At Nebraska, the lowest paid assistant football coach currently gets $150K, and 
I 

think also some of the money from summer clinics.
