Sports coaches often are paid for seasons bridging two calendar years. For example, football coach Meyer will be paid $5.8 million for this past season, cleveland.com reporter Doug Lesmerises has detailed. The database shows OSU paid him $4.5 million during calendar year 2015.

Basketball coach Matta was the highest paid OSU employee in calendar year 2015 at $5.8 million, in large part because of a one-time $3.1 million longevity bonus, money that had been set aside annually and which was released last year. His actual annual salary is about $3.4 million a year.
