Coaches and administrators of D1 sports programs are already well compensated. Plus no one needs $400k payments to feed their kids unless they have made some horrible financial mistakes.
- CydeWeys 8y agoReally? You think that the coach of, say, a D1 rowing team is going to be well-compensated? I doubt it. They'll certainly be less well-compensated than all of the FAANG engineers they're competing against in the housing market.
- slg 8y agoFirst result on Google[1] says the median salary for a Pac-12 rowing coach is $132,500 and I would bet Stanford is paying more than the median. That also doesn't include bonuses, other non-salary compensation from the school, or money from other non-school specific sources (it is relatively common for coaches to get compensated by vendors, run instructional camps, or have other auxiliary sources of income). So they might not match the arbitrary comparison of FAANG engineers, but they are a far cry from claiming they can't feed their kids without resulting to bribes.
