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.

I just don't think you will see what happens in football, happen in basketball.
Arenas are just too small around the country. You don't have the 8-12 bowl payouts to schools for conference money each year. There aren't as many timeouts in a game for advertising dollars like football at the arenas. Games are only 1:45-2:00 long, which means you don't make that much money on concessions or goods sold like you do an entire day of tailgating plus game for football.
