SalariesInteresting that two of the coaches who have won Big East titles — Brian Kelly of Cincinnati and Bill Stewart of West Virginia — apparently aren’t that effective in negotiating salaries thus far. Syracuse, a private school, does not comply with open records requests. The chart doesn’t include special incentive bonuses, which in Kragthorpe’s case would ratchet his compensation up to around $1.4 mil annually.
