Support Better Healthcare, Academics & Student Services for College Athletes

Intercollegiate sports, overseen by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), have undergone a massive transformation in recent years. Profits for the NCAA and the few schools with large athletic programs have skyrocketed as college sports’ popularity
has grown. With this growth in annual revenue, compensation for coaches and administrators has also increased. As of FY2018, the overall value of contract packages for coaches have surpassed the value of the athletic scholarships for student athletes, $1.723
billion vs. $1.709 billion respectively. Currently the highest paid public employee in 41 out of 50 states is the head coach of a collegiate sports team.
