“Coaches are burned out. Burnout is real and comes a lot more quickly when you’re not being paid well or are overworked; you feel that so much is being asked of you and time is being taken away from your personal and family life. At the end of the day, coaches may be seeing a nickel an hour if they’re lucky. It truly is a labor of love.
Do the head coaches need a salary different from supplemental because of the risk they’re taking on because of the number of students in their program? If there was a way to find a way with integrity to pay coaches more on a salary basis, I think that would be supported, but how would you do it? Other states do it. Alabama is doing it. Texas is doing it. But then, how do you do that with quality and equity? Because that might be happening with just the head football coach. But does the women’s swim coach receive the same benefits in those states? I don’t have the answer to that.”
