Head coach and staff pay at college basketball programs, by conference. Each conference has a men’s page and a women’s page. Every figure is labeled with its source, so you can see what was confirmed from a contract or report and what was not.

What’s next
New conferences are added regularly. Each new report gets a men’s page and a women’s page, and shows up in the table above. Existing pages are updated as coaching changes happen and as contracts and payroll records become available.
A searchable coach salary database is coming. It will let you search and filter head coach and staff pay across every conference we cover by school, title, conference and salary, with each figure labeled by how it was confirmed.
What each page covers
- Head coach pay at every program in the conference, with contract length and notes.
- Key numbers: the median, the range, and recent coaching changes.
- Men’s vs. women’s pay at the same school (on the women’s pages).
- Assistant and operations staff pay by school and title, where a document confirms it.
How to read the tables
- Base is salary only. Total includes marketing, media, retention and other supplemental pay.
- Contract: the signed contract was read. News report or Board report: an outlet or a university board document gave the figure. Unconfirmed: we found no second source.
- Figures are for the current season (2026–27) or the one before it (2025–26). Each table says which.
- Pay is public record at state universities, but most contracts are not posted online. Private schools do not publish pay, so their figures come from tax filings and press reports.
