Most of this information has been publicized in team-by-team form, but it's interesting to examine from a league-wide perspective. Ohio State defensive coordinator Luke Fickell and Michigan defensive coordinator Greg Mattison are the league's highest-paid assistants, both earning $750,000. Michigan offensive coordinator Al Borges ($550,000) is next, followed by Michigan State defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi ($500,000), who recently received a raise that more than doubled his previous salary ($233,000).

Several of the Big Ten's highest-paid assistants from 2011 -- Wisconsin offensive coordinator Paul Chryst, Illinois offensive coordinator Paul Petrino, Illinois defensive coordinator Vic Koenning -- since have left the league for other jobs.

Here are the totals paid for assistants among the 10 schools reporting salaries:

1. Ohio State -- $3.22 million 2. Michigan -- $2.755 million 3. Illinois -- $2.314 million 4. Michigan State -- $2.18 million 5. Iowa -- $2.16 million 6. Nebraska -- $2.13 million 7. Wisconsin -- $1.973 million 8. Indiana -- $1.96 million 9. Minnesota -- $1.745 million 10. Purdue -- $1.61 million

When factoring in the head coach salaries, the rankings look like this:

1. Ohio State -- $7.22 million 2. Iowa -- $6.035 million 3. Michigan -- $6.009 million 4. Nebraska -- $4.905 million 5. Wisconsin -- $4.571 million 6. Michigan State -- $4.098 million 7.
