There is a lot of speculation in this forum as to the salaries of athletes (e.g. recent thread on Hasay), but I also wondered how much coaches make.
It should be possible to look up the salary of coaches of many state schools, as that information is generally in the public domain. I'm curious to know (but too lazy to look myself), so I thought I would start the process.
Link to salaries available in this article:
For perspective, the athletic director makes $500,000, with basketball and football coaches at $1.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The president of university makes $475,000.
