Rob Glass is racking in the dough like no other strength coach has ever done so before.
For the first time, a strength and conditioning coach will be making $1 million annually at a public university.
Oklahoma State’s Rob Glass, who has spent nearly three decades at the university, received a new contract in February which will pay him seven figures per year.
