UNC coach Hubert Davis and N.C. State's Kevin Keatts are middle of the pack for pay among NCAA Tournament coaches, according to data collected by USA Today.

By the numbers: Keatts, who has been State's coach since 2017, is bringing in roughly $3 million a year with his current contract — making him the 21st highest paid coach in the tournament.

Davis, in his third year as coach, is bringing in $2.6 million at UNC, the 27th highest in the field.

Keatts' recent ACC Tournament win made his contract even richer.

In addition to a $110,00 bonus, the tournament win triggered a $400,000 raise and a two-year contract extension to 2030, according to USA Today.

Between the lines: Duke coach Jon Scheyer's salary is not publicly available as private institutions are exempt from reporting salaries

The highest paid coach in the tournament is Kansas' Bill Self, who makes $9.6 million.
