College AD Pay Chart Reveals Some Interesting Figures

Wow...I'm sure there are plenty of DTN posters who actually make more than some mid-major college AD. So we got that going for us! Which is nice.

Holy $#!@

Did not expect to see Vandy’s AD at the top of the list and TCU’s next to last!

is much more than an AD (Vandy did away with their athletic department, per se, a few years ago)…they report directly to him in his role as (pick one):
Vice Chancellor for University Affairs and Athletics; General Counsel and University Secretary at The Vanderbilt University and Medical Center; Professor of Law.

I can see TCU'S AD drooling

at the prospect of his new salary in the Big 12, I mean 9, no wait 10, whatever

Surprised by Bama AD pay

I would have thought he would make more than $560K. That is a lot of money, but somehow I thought it would be higher.

Cost of living is lower in Alabama

The “Thank goodness for Mississippi” state. Since Mississippi ranks dead last in all poverty & quality of life rankings Alabama gets to be 49th.

Hmmmm!

$409k will buy you a lot of green chilis for your hamburgers.

I think it's weird that ADs supervise coaches...

who make so much more money than they do.

State schools have little to do with capitalism, they have a lot more to do with politics and cronyism.

Simple rule of thumb: Everything before the but is BS.

The surprise for me is Texas Tech

With Hocutt sitting at the #23 slot at about $750K if he collects the maximum bonus, we should be able to keep him around for a while. Also, with A&M & Mizzou (#10 & 11 resp) leaving the conference, Tech’s AD becomes the third highest paid in the conference. I am surprised a bit at Vandy’s AD salary. Over $2 Million…..WOW!
