Assistants-who do we want?

I don't think this is quite apples-to-apples since the strength coach isn't included elsewhere but still not too shabby.

Husker Athletic Director Bill Moos said the salary pool for the 10 new assistants — plus a strength coach — will be $5 million.

According to USA Today, that salary pool — minus the strength coach’s salary — is among the nation’s highest. In 2016, LSU led the way at nearly $5.8 million, while Clemson was No. 2 at nearly $5.4 million.

No. 1 in the Big Ten? That was, in 2015, Ohio State, at $4,853,100.

“Everything that Scott was talking through with his agent was to take care of his assistants,” Moos said. “He wanted to make sure he had a big pool ... to Scott’s credit, that wasn’t about him.”
