[Notre Dame News]

Notre Dame is paying Charlie Weis a lot of money to run its football program, though the number is not as much as one might think.

The school paid Weis $565,566 in salary from July 1, 2005, to June 30, 2006, along with $53,113 in deferred compensation and benefits and a $55,100 expense account. The figures are from the latest tax form the school and other non-profit groups are required to submit to the Internal Revenue Service. The forms are open to the public.

The salary listed encompasses Weis’ first season in South Bend.

Weis, though, isn’t the highest-paid employee at Notre Dame. He’s the third-highest paid employee – or ex-employee – at the university.

So it doesn't look like Weis is raking in a ton of bucks - less than Tyrone Willingham and one of the academic chairs, in fact. Surprised?
