Can someone please send some basic salaries from division 1 colleges. Colleges like Notre Dame, Oregon, Stanford, BYU etc. What is the average salary?

Was your entire season based on this salary? ie did you involve yourself with Cross Country, Indoors, and Outdoors, also recruiting?

Vin Lananna's salary is somewhere north of 400 K.
And He's worth every penny.
:-)
Didn't the coach at ASU just get a 250k (or something) salary? Also, Notre Dame, Oregon, Stanford, and BYU are not average D1 track teams. The coaches of each of those schools makes considerably more than the coaches at actual middle of the road colleges.
OSU pays Karen Dennis $91,400 for last place at Big Ten (eleven).
I was the Head Coach. Recruiting was my life. I was also the Head Coach of both M/W Track & Field and Cross Country for a period of 6 months, dealing with 12 Women's Scholarships and 4 Men's. We participated in a full Cross Country season (including NCAA Regionals) and a full indoor and outdoor season.
However, times may have changed. This was in the early part of this decade.
Not bad money for nothing but a gym coach. I hear Vin Lanana makes the most from China / Nike, and Pat Henry of Tx A&M is the runner up. They have my respect.
Karen Dennis has averaged 9.2 place at Big 10's during her tenure as Head Womens Coach.
The team might do better if she missed more practices, if that is possible. Someone mentioned she made a recruiting call once.
"How much [does] the average D1 Track coach make per year?"
I would guess that the mean and the median are different. The few coaches who make six figures might skew the mean upward.
As near as I know, there are plenty of part-time (so called) DI head coaches who do not make five figures per year. [And if your question encompasses *all* DI coaches (including assistants), then I think the median pay may very well be under $10k.] In addition, a majority of coaches who *are* full time at their institutions receive part of their pay for non-coaching duties.
Bottom line: The average (whether mean or median) DI track coach doesn't make much from her/his coaching.
When I went into coaching, my mentor said, "It's a wonderful profession, as long as you never figure out how much it pays by the hour." After 20+ years of college coaching (some at DI), I can say that he was so, so right.

And a note to the Karen Dennis h8ers:
She is fully quotafied for her job and will probably be able to keep it as long as she wants. Deal.
WVU Head Coach Sean Cleary makes 46K...his team has been top 10 last 2 years
Salaries for the BCS-type conference coaches is usually in the $80,000 - $120,000 range with a few way up there (Pat Henry - $250,000; Dennis Shaver - $240,000; Texas coaches - $250,000) .
When you take a step down in conferences (Missouri Valley, Mid American, Mountain West, etc.) then the head coaches are in the $60,000 - $85,000 range more often.
Then you go backwards from there to the lowest DI conferences and you have head coaches salaries from $35,000 - $50,000.
But as someone stated, salaries are all over the map and it seems it has depended on what one can get when they first start. There are a couple of private school coaches who make upwards of $90,000, even though their school is what would be considered low-level athletically. I think they just were able to negotiate for what they go.
My mentor also told me that I wouldn't get rich coaching and he was right, but
I one time did see a nation wide survey of NCAA track & CC coaches that showed pay by division, head/assistant coach and if you did track and CC, etc.
I can't seem to locate it now, but that data does exist somewhere.

Very well put "Quotafied"

The rowing coach also makes 91k at OSU. What do you think about that?
Probably not paid enough. Excellent credentials and record.
I wish they paid those salaries about 20 years ago.
OSU has a huge payroll and the rising tuition is becoming out of reach for most.
