The NCAA released the schedule and bracket for the 2021 March Madness men’s college basketball tournament on March 16, and one team that the nation has its eye on is undefeated Spokane, Washington’s Gonzaga University. Calling Gonzaga “perhaps the greatest college basketball team of the modern era,” SB Nation reviewed that school’s history of how it came to be one of the dominant teams in the NCAA in recent years. The team is able to recruit from among the best players in the country, it expertly develops their skills, and it has a unique and efficient style of offense more often seen on NBA courts that enables all players on the team to succeed.

Much of this development into what appears to be a 21st-century college basketball dynasty is thanks to head coach Mark Few, who has been at the helm since 1999. The team has competed in 21 straight NCAA tournaments under his leadership. The Zags, as fans affectionately call them, have made it to at least the Sweet 16 in the last five seasons. So people are understandably wondering how being so good at his job pays off. Let’s take a look at how much Gonzaga head coach Mark Few gets paid for so much winning.
