Hint: He "teaches" in the largest "classroom" in the state.

Got it? It's University of Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz, weighing in at a not-too-shabby $3.725 million for the year that ended June 30. As The Gazette points out, that's seven times the salary of his boss, UI President Sally Mason.
