Okay, so I was super curious about how much Shaka Smart, the Marquette basketball coach, makes. You know, just one of those random things you start wondering about.
I started by just plain old Googling “Shaka Smart salary.” Honestly, I figured it would be easy to find, like right there on the first page. Nope!
I dug around a bit, scrolling through a bunch of articles. Some were about his coaching wins, some were about his move from Texas to Marquette… lots of stuff, but not the actual number I was looking for.
I then tried some different search terms, like “Shaka Smart Marquette contract details” and “Shaka Smart annual compensation.” I figured maybe using more “official” sounding words would help.
I even checked some sports news websites directly, but I got lost.
It became a small challenge for me.
