Pac-12 commissioner highest paid in college sports

Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott was paid $4.2 million in his compensation package of 2014-15, CBSsports.com reported last week. He was the highest-paid commissioner in college sports. He spent $726,000 in expenses for his “Pacific Rim Initiative,” which seems like such an extravagance. Scott’s staff of lieutenants are surely the highest paid in college sports: Nine of his top staffers are paid in excess of $427,000 annually. By comparison, the four highest-paid members of Greg Byrne’s executive staff at Arizona were all paid $167,000 for fiscal year 2014-15.
