College coaches $

Any info on college baseball coaches?

Same thing in basketball...even more ridiculous.

That is why all D1 athletes should get paid something weekly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rz, I have never seen the numbers posted but from what I've heard d1 guys can range from the 50's to 400-500k. Huge disparities depending upon conference, tenure, success, attendance, radio/tv and apparrel deals, and how much they make off of camps etc. Bottom line, the baseball guys make dramatically more at schools where football/hoops are successful.
As article stated the football & basketball guys make a bundle at the "bigs". At mid-majors they are usually in the 120-300 range.
Ferentz had 3-4 great years at Iowa and cashed in huge when the NFL went gaga over college coaches. He's 13-10 last 2 years but nice to see he and other's (including B Knight) have made sizeable donations to their schools.
Beyond the base salaries some of the bonuses and other perks are amazing. The schools obviously have the $ to pay it but it seems to have gone a bit crazy the last 5 or so years.

Kids at Service Academies make $700 a month. Out of that they take money for uniforms, haircuts (mandatory), laundry, computer equipment (the best and fastest in the world... my son can watch MLB from spy satellites). As a Plebe, they get about $95 take home... by the time they are Firsties, they get about $550.

I think at the same time they teach them about managing "a little bit of money", certainly how much this guy named FICA gets... and in return they get full room and board, tuition (they must take 21 credits per quarter, in or out of season) and that old saying, "it ain't rocket science"?... well, most of them have to take Astro Engineering (rocket science).

Beat Army!!!

How's everyone been? I've been watching 'em "fell a couple" along the Yangxi.

Our coaches new contract was published.

Large part of it does consist of media and suppliers, camp.

He also gets a bonus for GPA's over 3.0.

However, relatively small compared to Tommy B's salary.

Here's a portion of a 2003 Boyds World article

I don't know the date of the salaries but considering the seasons are longer with more games it sure shows what sports are shown respect.

Here's the complete article

Actually, if you want to get technical, the big disparity between the two (baseball & football coaches) isn't their salaries, it's all of the other incentives. If you read the article, there's a graph that states only about 25% of a football coach's income is "salary". The rest is from performance-based bonuses, appearances, TV/Radio spots, apparel, etc. To give you the comparison between the base salaries (best I could figure) see the following:

School / Baseball Salary / Football Salary

Arizona State: $130,000 / $250,000
Arkansas: $150,000 / $329,644
East Carolina: $100,000 / $150,000
Georgia: $75,000 / $270,000
Houston: $120,000 / $250,000
Illinois: $90,000 / $530,000
Kansas: $70,000 / $220,000
Louisiana State: $145,000 / $300,000
Michigan: $57,873 / $287,000
Nebraska: $90,000 / $325,000
Nevada-Las Vegas: $67,600 / $160,000
North Carolina State: $74,334 / $185,000
Ohio State: $72,000 / $344,000
Oklahoma State: $78,744 / $250,000
San Diego State: $100,000 / $195,000
South Carolina: $125,000 / $250,000
Texas: $340,000 / $600,000
Wichita State: $150,000 / NA

The link is pretty cool actually because it has actual copies of the various coach's contracts.

Many of the hoops/football salaries are published on the low end b/c that is their "base"--what the school actually pays. The rest comes from camps, endorsements, and boosters.

I'd be willing to say that JEFF BOWDEN of FLA STATE has the best deal--about half a mill over the next few years to do NOTHING.

Actually...it's 537K over the next 6 years.

Begins in 8/07 and runs through 8/12.
