According to an October article by Jon Wilner in the San Jose Mercury, Shaw is by far the highest paid Pac-12 coach. FYI, in descending order:
Shaw, 8.9 million
UCLA/Kelly, 5.2
Utah/Whittingham, 5.2
Helton was making 4.8
Oregon, 4.4
ASU/Herm, 3.9
CAL, 3.6
CO, 3.2
WA/Lake (gone), 3.0
Wazzu (gone), 3.0
AZ, 2.7
Oregon State, 2.4
Can anyone tell me what justifies Shaw getting such a tremendous increase that far outstrips his contemporaries in the Pac 12?

If you want to discuss the topic of Shaw’s salary, may I suggest you reference the extensive discussion on a thread that was posted a while back.
