Salary of coaches in different divisions NCAA - ??

You didn't increase revenue at the school if it has a 60% acceptance rate.

Yeah I’m tired of coaches claiming they add some unique value to the enrollment effort and that every dollar they’re athletes pay should be credited to them. At the end of the day almost every school can fill their enrollment with or without a track team.

There is a significant variation in pay for coaches at different NCAA divisions. Head coaches at top-tier D1 schools can earn salaries in the millions, while head coaches at D2 and D3 schools typically earn much less, ranging from around $30,000 to $100,000 per year. Assistant coaches at D1 schools can earn salaries in the range of $30,000 to $100,000, depending on their experience and responsibilities, while assistant coaches at D2 and D3 schools generally earn less, ranging from $10,000 to $50,000. The pay for distance coaches can vary depending on their level of responsibility and experience, but typically ranges from $30,000 to $100,000 for head coaches and $10,000 to $50,000 for assistant coaches. However, these figures are generalizations and there is a lot of variation depending on the specific school, sport, and level of competition.

my coach makes over 70k a year and does basically nothing as a head coach. assistant coaches and GAs do all the work, writing workouts, recruiting, talking to athletes/keeping morale high. He just says who can and cant race/be on the team.

As associate head coach of track/xc at a mid-major DI program I was getting a $56k a year, sh** benefits, and an awful bonus structure. Go P5 if at all possible, much higher salaries, usually good benefits with sometimes car clubs, meal benefits, etc.

Howdy all, D3 state school reporting in. Assistant cross and track position to both men and women with other duties assigned to my role. $40k, Full time w/ benefits BUT on a 9-month contract (late Aug-Late May). Benefits go through the summer and small cost-of-living increase. Had 3 years experience coming in and a master's degree.

Thing I will say about getting into the game, take care of yourself first and you have to really want to do this job and love this work. Also, get to know people. Single best thing I did was introduce myself to all the coaches around the finish line during the meets, networking is huge. Get their phone numbers, make a friendship, talk to them about anything and everything. If/when the time comes for your job movement they may reach out to you or you already have that connection with them, so when you ask if they've heard anything, they'll want to help you. Finally, if you are an athlete right now, use your coach as a mentor and learn what they did, what they should've done, ask about training, ask about resume's, mock interviews, etc. sometimes the best resource for you is right in front of you.
