That's the top 16 winningest programs in basketball.

Only 5 of their coaches make more than 2.7million per year

But, Id hate for facts to get in your way Grits.

Far be it for me to get in the way of someone shitting on Grits. I encourage that type of discussion.

However, I really think that the all time records don't matter a whole ton when it comes to hiring new coaches. It's more about aspirations/desires for the program and the influx of new revenue.

Coaching pay will go up, and I doubt it starts at the top. It will get there, but as with most things in sports, it will come from someone overpaying a less accomplished person and the more qualified using it as a bargaining tool.

I hope we can participate in the future inflation of basketball coaching salaries.

Here is your list tweaked with pay

The 3 million and up club
4. Duke .704 = 9.7 million for coach K
7. Louisville .661 = 5.8 for Pitino
1. Kentucky .762 = 5.5 million for Calipari
3. Kansas .721 = 5.0 million for Self
NR Florida = 3.9 for Donovan
NR Michigan State = 3.9 for Izzo
6. UCLA .692 = 3.5 million for Alford
NR Ohio State = 3.3 million for Matta

The probably under paid
2. North Carolina .737 = 1.8 million for Williams (probably underpaid for crying so much)
5. Syracuse .693 = 1.8 for Boeheim
14. UConn .642 = 1.3 for former assistant coach

The underpaid and dead end schools (not winning)
8. St. John's .653
9. Illinois .651
10. Notre Dame .648
11. Temple .646
12. Arizona .646, Lute is retired
13. Utah .643, Rick is dead
15. Arkansas .640, Nolan is gone
16. Indiana .640, Knight is long gone

Notice the schools paying well are also in the hunt every year. 3 schools are getting banners on the cheap, but they are in the minority. Money certainly seems to separate the real winners from the other guys.
