  • Predicting Intrinsic Value of NCAA Division I Men's Basketball
    Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics, 2015, 8, 74-91 74 © 2014 College Sport Research Institute Predicting Intrinsic Value of NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Coaching Salaries __________________________________________________________ Ryan M. Brewer, Ph.D. Indiana University - Purdue University Columbus Chad D. McEvoy, Ed.D. Syracuse University Nels Popp, Ph.D. University of North Carolina Chapel Hill _________________________________________________________ Men’s head basketball coaches at NCAA Division I programs commonly earn hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars each year, and are commonly paid three or four times as much as their university presidents, yet these wages are currently not rigorously analyzed prior to making hiring choices. Regression modeling reveals that basketball program revenue predicts the vast majority of compensation levels, apart from lifetime successes in NCAA tournaments, each coach’s ratings percentage index (RPI), and lifetime winning percentage. Athletics directors therefore need a tool whereby intrinsic value of their head coaches can be assessed. This study remedies an identified gap in the literature by extending estimates of intrinsic valuation to coaches’ contracts, increasing labor market efficiency. Predicted salaries of contemporary coaches are compared to actual salaries, noting differences.

Predicting Men’s Basketball Coaching Salaries 75 A USA Today (Berkowitz, Upton, & Durkin, 2012) database showed the average head coach of a team participating in that year’s National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament was paid more than $1.4 million annually.

INTRODUCTION Collegiate athletics has become big business in America, generating billions of dollars each year. Division I-A' football and men's basketball are among the most popular sports in America, and they are the revenue generators in collegiate athletics. Central Broadcasting Systems (CBS) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) are currently under an eleven-year, $6 billion contract for the television broadcast rights for the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.2 Fox is paying $330 million for the right to broadcast the Fiesta, Sugar, and Orange Bowls from 2007-2010 and the right to broadcast the college football national championship games from 2007-2009. 3 With so much money spent on collegiate football and men's basketball, it appears that successful programs in these sports offer universities an opportunity to generate significant revenue.
