Paul Hewitt is the highest paid employee of the state of Virginia

The Richmond Times-Dispatch published the top 25 earners of the state of Virginia employees and guess who is #1? Let's not also forget that Hewitt is still getting paid by his former employer, Georgia Tech ($7.2 million over 5 years). Don't know what Hewitt's legacy will become at George Mason but his agent is definitely a hall of famer.

I'm pretty sure that Shaka Smart is making way more then this list shows.  Didn't he get a huge increase in his salary (near or over a million p/ year) after they made it to the final four last year?

Shaka makes 1.2 million a year but his base salary with state funds used is $450,000. See this article for the rest of the details on his contract

State employee earning more than the governor: Frank Beamer, head football coach at Virginia Tech, earned $2.04 million base compensation in 2010, according to USATODAY.com.

Doesn't mean every dime of that compensation is state money. I guarantee a lot of that comes from boosters and not state money.

I dunno...it says base compensation...i take that to mean that that's what the state pays, plus he gets more elsewhere...at least that's how greenberg is.

Hewitt gets money from other sources as well, like boosters.
