View Comments
EAST LANSING Michigan State University s football coach earns more than the school s top 10 highest-paid employees outside the athletics department combined.
Those 10 staffers, MSU s best compensated excluding athletics staff, combine to earn about $4.9 million annually. President Samuel Stanley Jr. earns $720,000 each year, making him the highest-paid non-athletics employee at MSU. He earns just less than University of Michigan President Mark Schlissel s $810,000 annual salary.
MSU basketball coach Tom Izzo earned about $3.9 million last year after a COVID-19 pandemic reduction of $362,560 for the year, according to a USA Today salary database. He is expected to earn a one-time retention bonus of $4 million next year.
