Sherrone Moore, Michigan Wolverines’ new head football, is surprisingly underpaid. Moore’s current salary, $5.5 million a year, is less than half what the sport’s top coach earns. In fact, Moore’s salary doesn’t even come close to cracking the top ten. Yet, it’s an easy case to make that Sherrone Moore should be the highest-paid coach in college football
Moore just signed a five-year, $5.5 million per year deal to be the Michigan Wolverines coach. By comparison, Ohio State’s Ryan Day, whose team lost to Michigan the past three years, will earn an estimated $10.2 million per year, nearly double.
Given the value of recent media deals, the fact that Michigan is consistently a top draw on television, plus the fact the team sells out the biggest stadium in the country are all proofs that Moore is not paid full market value. Now add to this, Michigan is set to play the greatest schedule in college football history. All eyes will soon be on the Wolverines — and coach Moore.
