College Coaches Salaries

The average salary of an NCAA Division 1 basketball coach in the national tournament was 1.7 million. This amount of payment trumps even college presidents and some people may disagree with the amount of money put into towards college coaches. However, with the amount of money a Division 1 NCAA basketball generates towards the school, why not pay them a big salary? These coaches have success and are earning their pay checks. As a head coach of the program every time you travel, go to dinner with your team or just giving back in the community they are representing the University. Division 1 NCAA College Coaches are recognizable figures around the country. They are bringing in money for the school and if they are successful with making the NCAA Tournament why not pay them?
