With the $1M raise for the assistant coaches, ISU moves from near the bottom of the P5 to around the middle of the pack.
Now this is before factoring in raises for assistants at other schools so not 100% fair but at least it should give an idea of where ISU ranks. Finally, this only has 51 P5 schools with what appeared to be complete numbers (Penn State only had one salary reported so showed a total of $603k in assistant pay, TCU only had one assistant reported showing $963k in assistant pay; so I left both of these schools out.
ISU 2018: $2,982,500, this was 49th on the list of 51 schools ahead of only Georgia Tech and Virginia
ISU 2019: $3,982,500 (+$1M), would rank 27th based on 2018 pay, behind 26 schools and ahead of 24 schools on this list of 51
Next 5 Schools Behind ISU (based on 2018 pay): ($3.7M-$3.9M) Arkansas, California, NC State, Ariz State, Virginia Tech
Next 5 Schools In Front of ISU (based on 2018 pay): ($4.1M-$4.3M) Wisconsin, Oklahoma State, UCLA, Louisville, Iowa
Not bad... I knew the raise was good... but didn't realize how competitive that made us.
