This brother is making some money!


1. David Williams – Vanderbilt, $3.23 million

With a salary more than double that of the second highest-paid Athletics Director in the country, I bet you wouldn’t think that it would be Vanderbilt’s David Williams who earns the most money amongst his peers, right? Nothing against Williams, but Vandy doesn’t exactly have the athletic prestige that other schools do. Still, Williams has implemented a full initiative for his student-athletes to experience all that the school has to offer, allowing more overseas travel and study for athletes, helping the GPA of those players to improve since initiated. Williams also saw his baseball team the national title this past season, along with his women’s bowling team doing the same, and, routinely, sees his men’s and women’s hoops teams go to postseason play. With old money, a private institution and solid strategy in place, David Williams has taken Vanderbilt athletics to a place other schools are still trying to strive for—which is why he makes $3.23 million per year.

Jeremy Foley better hope Jim McElwain turns Florida back into a top contender fast, because the Gator fans and boosters weren't happy at all with how long it took him to push Muschamp out the door.
 
I have tried to get a few jobs at Vanderbilt in the past. They had some positions in their govt affairs office open a few years back that spent 50% of time in DC and 50% in Nashville. That would have been a dream gig back then.
