universities.
Database:
Compare salary increases for administrators at 15 state (of Michigan) universities

I wanted to expand
on that data to see how much money was spent on salaries for the athletic departments at the respective institutions. In addition to the 15 State of Michigan universities, I also added Notre Dame and
Ohio State. Michigan-Flint does not have an athletic department listing on their
websight.
I estimated the average annual salary for
all athletic department employees to be $75,000. I do not know how realistic
this number is but with so many Assistant/Associate Athletic Directors and coaches, I figured this would be a reasonable average
salary.
It should not shock you that Ohio State
lists 476 employees in its athletic department followed by:
Notre Dame at 293
Michigan State at 254
Western Michigan at 116
Central Michigan at 112
Eastern Michigan at 105
Oakland University at 87
Wayne State at 76
Saginaw Valley State at 63
Ferris State at 61
Northern Michigan at 53
Michigan Ann Arbor at 42 (it only lists
the head coaches. The total is probably close to Ohio State’s 476)
Grand Valley State at 42
Michigan Tech at 29
Michigan Dearborn at 24
Lake Superior State at 23
Multiply each of those numbers by $75,000
and you can see what each athletic department spends only on salaries. You can
also see why each of these universities charge at least $15,000-$27,000/year just for tuition.
Throw in at least the same amount for room, board and books and you can see why a degree at a four year Michigan public
institution of higher learning costs a family around $100,000 per child.
It is hard to understand the obsession
people have with college athletics. When schools such as Michigan State and Note
Dame and Ohio State and Michigan admit and charge exorbitant ticket prices to 80,000-100,000 fans on eight Saturdays a year,
school administrators must feel that as long as a sucker is born every minute, they will keep the circus going. As the athletic department expands, the cost of a college education will expand.
Maybe it is time to professional-ize college
athletics. When state college institutions receive as much as $325,000,000 in
state funding, and that money only goes to coaches and administrators, something is wrong.
I do not buy into the fact that the students are receiving the cost of tuition.
It costs the same to teach a class of 25 or 50 as it does a class of 26 or 51.
Most classes are being taught by graduate
assistants anyway. I never met a professor yet who taught a 40-hour work week.
