Cool find

Totally agree. They may never get a complete list with the private/non-state funded schools to know where things fall.

For me, it allows me to infer he's probably in the top 15% for non P5 + AAC/Big East schools though. It also shows us that the going rate in the MAC is a little higher than was discussed last year on this board. It also shows Groce as the highest paid coach, and Huger and that Keno Davis and UB's new coach are better paid than maybe I expected.

They guys whose numbers are the most surprising: Whitford and Kowalczk. They're probably underpaid a bit comparatively speaking.

Of note: Miami's coach isn't listed here yet.

Didn't realize that Steve Hawkins is in the last year of his contact.

We all probably remember the dot.com bubble of 2000. Well if college coaches salaries ever take a tumble, we need to look no further than this chart, of mainly public institutions. My goodness as OU Country and OU Van have stated, how in the world is Coach Cronin making that kind of money for the Bruins? Having worked on a project or two out there, I realize the LA cost of living is high, and it is hard living in the shadow of the Wizard of Westwood, let alone navigating the endless traffic, but not 5+ million dollars worth of trouble! College basketball gates and TV ratings are not in college football territory and yet these salaries are something else.

There's the old 1930 Babe Ruth quote about him making more money than President Hoover and the Babe (making $80K) stating that he had a better year than President Hoover (making $75K.) Some of the guys on this list are making 10x, 20x or even 30x more than the sitting governor in their particular states, yet some of them aren't having a better year than their respective governors. Nice work if you can find it!

This goes hand in hand with the player compensation issue. The coach should not make more than the president, and should be in the ballpark with a dean at most places, including ours. If you make money, that's different, but then the players should be compensated. Bubble is accurate.

I find it funny how many coaches have salary bonuses and perks with Nike and other endorsement deals. Yet schools and coaches are stating that they're not ready for players to get endorsement deals. Why do kids buy Nikes? Because Coach K wears them or because players like Kyrie on his team do?

You might have a point with Illinois and Louisiana governors, God knows they have seen their fair share of corruption. However, whether you like or don't like your particular governor's policies, most aren't corrupt. I dare say there are more under the table deals made by university top tier administrators than governors.

I would not be surprised at all. I would guess it’s very high. If they’re not I would be surprised. Do you think they’re small?

The problem with private school salary determinations is total lack of transparency. Whatever we know publicly is probably a very small fraction of the true total package. They’re private contractors who can make whatever on the side.

The only private schools I've checked into are the 8 Ivy league schools. Other than the guy at Harvard, the rest are less than what we pay.

There is obviously enough money to pay coaches, whether it’s official salary or private booster bucks. The bigger picture on players compensation is the same now as when Walter Byars coined the term student athlete: avoid the cost and red tape of players classified as employees.
