Interesting!
Something from the "I didn't know that already" files:Tigers have highest paid staff in nation
The expectations are high for Auburn football this fall. The Tigers are considered one of the favorites to win the Southeastern Conference championship, along with LSU and Florida.
Auburn could even enter the 2006 season with a top five national ranking.
According to university athletic budget reports for the 2004-05 season required by the NCAA, and obtained by the Indianapolis Star, Auburn has the highest paid football coaching staff in the nation with a total budget of $4,938,831.
The Tigers barely topped perennial leader University of Texas, which paid Mack Brown and his staff $4,887,932.
Rounding out the top five nationally were Tennessee, Texas A&M and LSU.
Hell yeah! I can't wait for the fall!
