2013 college athletic director salaries: Whose teams win the most for the money?

Athletic directors are paid handsomely to make sure university athletic departments run harmoniously. While winning isn't the only component in making that happen, it's a large part, specifically when it comes to the two sports that make the most money: football and men's basketball.

USA Today released its updated athletic director salary database last week, and I thought it would be interesting to see which schools are getting the most bang for their buck according to ruthless numbers.

This is hardly a definitive metric to judge these athletic directors on. There's much more to the job than just wins. It's just a fun way to see who's spending what.

Some private institutions have gone and included their salary info, but since they are not public institutions required to do so, not all of them have.

With all that said, here are the schools that are getting the most football and basketball wins for their money, as well as the fewest:
