  • Some of the most successful coaches in college basketball rank among the nation’s highest-paid, including Kansas coach Bill Self and Virginia’s Tony Bennett. But there are many more coaches struggling to match the expectations that come with a contract worth multiple millions in annual salary.

    That includes the highest-paid coach in the sport, Kentucky’s John Calipari, who is earning $8.5 million in total compensation with a contract that runs through the 2028-29 season. After being knocked out in the first round of last year’s NCAA Tournament, the Wildcats have spent most of this season unranked and on the tournament bubble.

    USA TODAY Sports compiled pay information from each school in the Power Five conferences and from each school outside those conferences whose team has appeared in at least three of the past five NCAA tournaments.

    These are the five most overpaid coaches in men’s college basketball.
