I don't think anyone considers IT support staff to be "administrators". They're thinking of Deans, Provosts, Vice Provosts, ____ Coordinators. These positions frequently pay hundreds of thousands of dollars, and they've multiplied significantly over the last 30 years.

IT project bloat is definitely an issue though. It's just not the support staff that are causing the problem. Plus more admins are brought in either to manage the projects or make them more 'efficient' when the projects fail or are poorly implemented. You start to get coordinators whose job it is to hand key from one system to another so that professors or what not don't have to do it.
