Which Idaho university employees make the most money? What about the staffs on their athletics programs?

An Idaho Statesman database compiled pay data for employees at the state’s four public four-year colleges: Boise State University, the University of Idaho, Idaho State University and Lewis-Clark State College.

The top two highest-paid university employees in Idaho are athletics coaches.

Boise State football coach Spencer Danielson and basketball coach Leon Rice both make more than a million dollars per year, according to university records.

University of Idaho President Scott Green makes $479,000 annually, while Boise State President Marlene Tromp makes over $473,000. Some adjunct faculty earn a few thousand dollars per year.
