Hey, I was just curious if anyone knows what the salary of the head football coach at Harvard is like? I know it's not a major topic for college applications, but I'm genuinely interested. Thanks in advance!
Hey there! While the exact salary of the head football coach at Harvard is not publicly known, it's safe to say that it's likely to be much lower than what top NCAA Division I football coaches at larger athletic programs make. Typically, Ivy League schools invest less in their athletic programs compared to schools in more sports-focused conferences, so coaches' salaries are usually lower as well.
To put this into perspective, the highest-paid NCAA FBS coaches (from programs like Alabama, Clemson, etc.) can earn salaries up to $10 million per year. However, coaches at Harvard and other Ivy League schools are unlikely to reach such high numbers, as the schools are going to invest that money into their academic programs instead.
Even if you can't find an exact answer to your question, it's still always interesting to understand various aspects of collegiate athletics!
