Jon Scheyer's salary at Duke revealed
Duke paid Jon Scheyer just $2.38 million as the Blue Devils' head basketball coach last season.
Considering the job Jon Scheyer has done in his four seasons as Duke ’s head basketball coach after taking over for legendary coach Mike Krzyzewski, you would think that he would be one of the highest-paid coaches in college basketball. You would think wrong. In USA TODAY Sports’ annual release of college basketball coaches’ salaries, it is revealed that Scheyer is paid just $2.
38 million a year, good for 64th in the country. Compared to what UNC will pay its new hire, Michael Malone, at $8. 3 million a year, Scheyer is criminally underpaid for what he has accomplished at such a young age.
Even Clemson’s Brad Brownell ($4 million a year) makes more than Scheyer. Interestingly, there are no ACC coaches from last season who were in the top 25 in terms of salary. This article originally appeared on Duke Wire: Jon Scheyer's salary at Duke revealed
