Best $ Value in Athletic Directors?

[Harry]

Conference USA
Highest paid: Pete Garcia, Florida International - $441,832
Lowest paid: Jeff Hammond, Southern Miss - $200,000
Best value: Bruce Van De Velde, Louisiana Tech - $241,000. The Bulldogs are consistent winners in football, ranked in basketball and will finally play in their perfect conference beginning this fall.

MAC
Highest paid: Bill Scholl, Ball State - $250,000
Lowest paid: Kathy Beauregard, Western Michigan - $179,858
Best value: Jim Schaus, Ohio - $247,000. The Bobcats have enjoyed four winning seasons in Schaus' five years at the helm. On the hardwood, the Bobcats have won NCAA Tournament games in two of the last three years, pushing North Carolina to overtime in last year's Sweet Sixteen.

Sun Belt
Highest paid: Larry Teis, Texas State - $225,000
Lowest paid: Bobby Staub, ULM - $109,923
Best value: Terry Mohajir, Arkansas State - $190,000. Truth be told, this was a dead heat between Mohajir and Western Kentucky's Todd Stewart. Each athletic director's head coaching hire this offseason (Bobby Petrino at WKU and Bryan Harsin at Arkansas State) will likely determine which school rules the league for the foreseeable future.
