Washington Post had a piece on the large amounts of money going to the non-revenue coaches, way above what they used to be and above norms. Spread the money around, I guess. As it says in the story, some head coaches make more than the entire revenue stream for their sports. But as more money has surged into Kentucky athletics, records show, Calipari isn’t the only coach cashing in, as the athletes remain amateurs. From 2006 to 2016, pay for Kentucky’s track and field coach climbed from $108,000 to $429,000; men’s tennis coach pay jumped from $122,000 to $230,000; and gymnastics coach pay rose from $112,000 to $252,000. Every coach made more than the school’s average full professor’s salary. In a phenomenon playing out across the country, salaries are soaring for coaches of lower-profile college sports largely subsidized by lucrative football and men’s basketball, whose annual national tournament opens Tuesday. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/colleges/as-ncaa-money-trickles- |
