Higher than it should be. Because of title 9 Universities have to spend equally on both men's and women's sports. With the high salaries of football coaches and mens Basketball coaches, women's basketball gets super inflated. UConn women's coaches made over 2 million dollars but the program lost $800,000. the average women's program in a BCS conference lost 2.1 million dollars.
Universities are cutting back everything and these women's program are bleeding money but b/c of title nine they have to pay these salaries. The Alabama Football coach gets paid 5 million a year but the Football program makes a 20 million dollar profit. To offset his 5 million dollar salary the Women's coaches make 2million but the program loses 2.1million a year.
The best men's Lacrosse coach in the country makes $200,000/yr.
Why can't women be treated fairly?
Anything they can get. Top 25 would be in mid 3 figures and up. Recent experiences at low mid-major Boise State. Past Assistants getting around 75,000. New assistant probably more but less than they were making. You have 300 plus D1 schools. If you win you make money - Butler assistants I am sure getting raises.
The top two assistants on former coach Greg Graham's staff made approximately $74,000 and $68,000 - figures that athletic director Gene Bleymaier promised Rice would be increased. http://www.idahostatesman.com/2010/04/02/1138901/rice-adds-two-coaches-to-staff.html
Contrast to Oregon Asst Coach getting $400k for not coaching. http://www.registerguard.com/csp/cms/sites/web/news/cityregion/24667771-41/coach-oregon-dunlap-stevens-season.csp
As an assistant you are tied to the head coaches apron strings.
