HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - The salaries of Penn State coach Joe
Paterno and the school's top administrators must be disclosed by
the state retirement system, the state Supreme Court ruled Tuesday.
The 4-2 decision said the Commonwealth Court, which had ordered
the disclosure, properly balanced the public's interest in knowing
details about retirement system finances against the effects
disclosure might have on reputations and personal security.
There's been speculation for years that Paterno is among the
highest paid coaches, but the numbers have never been public.
Alabama's Nick Saban became the highest paid coach in college
football at $4 million per year when he was hired by the Crimson
Tide after last season. Oklahoma's Bob Stoops makes over $3 million
and several coaches, including Ohio State's Jim Tressel, Florida's
Urban Meyer and South Carolina's Steve Spurrier make upward of $2
million annually.
